Richard Mudgett f2e1640435 Fix deadlock when using dummy channels.
Dummy channels created by ast_dummy_channel_alloc() should be destoyed by
ast_channel_unref().  Using ast_channel_release() needlessly grabs the
channel container lock and can cause a deadlock as a result.

* Analyzed use of ast_dummy_channel_alloc() and made use
ast_channel_unref() when done with the dummy channel.  (Primary reason for
the reported deadlock.)

* Made app_dial.c:dial_exec_full() not call ast_call() holding any channel
locks.  Chan_local could not perform deadlock avoidance correctly.
(Potential deadlock exposed by this issue.  Secondary reason for the
reported deadlock since the held lock was part of the deadlock chain.)

* Fixed some uses of ast_dummy_channel_alloc() not checking the returned
channel pointer for failure.

* Fixed some potential chan=NULL pointer usage in func_odbc.c.  Protected
by testing the bogus_chan value.

* Fixed needlessly clearing a 1024 char auto array when setting the first
char to zero is enough in manager.c:action_getvar().
