Remove AST_PBX_KEEPALIVE usage from res_agi.

This patch removes the usage of AST_PBX_KEEPALIVE from res_agi.  The only usage
was for the AGI command, "asyncagi break".  This patch removes this feature.
Normally, a feature would not be removed like this.  However, this code is
broken and usage of it will result in a memory leak.

Usage of this feature will make the AGI code return a result of 
AST_PBX_KEEPALIVE.  The PBX handler assumes that another thread has assumed
ownership of the channel.  The channel thread will exit without destroying the
channel.  Unfortunately, _no_ thread has ownership of the channel at this
point.  There are a couple of serious problems here:

1) The only way to recover the caller is to issue a channel redirect.  This
   will work, but this will be done with a masquerade, and the old ast_channel
   structure will be lost.

2) Until the channel redirect happens, there is no code servicing the channel.
   That means nothing is reading audio or handling events coming from the
   channel.  This is very bad.

The recommended way to get this same "break" functionality is to issue the
redirect while the channel is still being handled by the AGI code.  That way,
there will be no memory leak, and there will be no period of time that the
channel is not being serviced.
