When a channel leaves a bridge, a race condition existed where the
bridge_channel's pvt structure would be accessed after it was disposed of.
This patch prevents that by setting the pointer to the pvt to NULL prior
to disposing of it.
Note that this patch is a backport from Asterisk 10. This particular race
condition was fixed as part of the larger code rework that occurred for that
release.
The solution to this problem was pointed out by Gunnar Harms in ASTERISK-16640.

Currently, if an acknowledgement of a timer fails Asterisk will not realize
that a serious error occurred and will continue attempting to use the timer's
file descriptor. This can lead to situations where errors stream to the
CLI/log file. This consumes significant resources, masks the actual problem
that occurred (whatever caused the timer to fail in the first place), and
can leave channels in odd states.
This patch propagates the errors in the timing resource modules up through
the timer core, and makes users of these timers handle acknowledgement
failures. It also adds some defensive coding around the use of timers
to prevent using bad file descriptors in off nominal code paths.
Note that the patch created by the issue reporter was modified slightly for
this commit and backported to 1.8, as it was originally written for
Asterisk 10.

The ability to load/unload timing interfaces is nice, but it means that when a timer is allocated, it may come from provider A, but later provider B becomes the 'preferred' provider. If this happens, all timer API calls on the timer that was provided by provider A will actually be handed to provider B, which will say WTF and return an error.
This patch changes the timer API to include a pointer to the provider of the timer handle so that future operations on the timer will be forwarded to the proper provider.

It is possible for a bridge to be created without actually being used.
In that scenario a timing file descriptor would be opened and not
closed. To fix this the timing file descriptor is now closed in the
destroy callback, not the thread function.

It was possible for no timer to become available between creating the bridge
and starting it. We now open a timer when creating it and keep it open until the
bridge is destroyed.

This commit brings in the bridging core, bridging technologies,
and the ConfBridge application.
For usage information on the ConfBridge application please see
the output of "core show application ConfBridge" from the CLI.
For API documentation please see the doxygen page describing the
architecture and the documentation for each API call.
