Mark Michelson 2da869408a Add primitive SFU support to bridge_softmix.
This sets up the "plumbing" in bridge_softmix to
be able to accommodate Asterisk asking as an SFU
(selective forwarding unit) for conferences.

The way this works is that whenever a channel enters or leaves a
conference, all participants in the bridge get sent a stream topology
change request. The topologies consist of the channels' original
topology, along with video destination streams corresponding to each
participants' source video streams. So for instance, if Alice, Bob, and
Carol are in the conference, and each supplies one video stream, then
the topologies for each would look like so:

Alice:
Audio,
Source video(Alice),
Destination Video(Bob),
Destination video (Carol)

Bob:
Audio,
Source video(Bob)
Destination Video(Alice),
Destination video (Carol)

Carol:
Audio,
Source video(Carol)
Destination Video(Alice),
Destination video (Bob)

This way, video that arrives from a source video stream can then be
copied out to the destination video streams on the other participants'
channels.

Once the bridge gets told that a topology on a channel has changed, the
bridge constructs a map in order to get the video frames routed to the
proper destination streams. This is done using the bridge channel's
stream_map.

This change is bare-bones with regards to SFU support. Some key features
are missing at this point:

* Stream limits. This commit makes no effort to limit the number of
  streams on a specific channel. This means that if there were 50 video
  callers in a conference, bridge_softmix will happily send out topology
  change requests to every channel in the bridge, requesting 50+
  streams.

* Configuration. The plumbing has been added to bridge_softmix, but
  there has been nothing added as of yet to app_confbridge to enable SFU
  video mode.

* Testing. Some functions included here have unit tests.
  However, the functionality as a whole has only been verified by
  hand-tracing the code.

* Selectivenss. For a "selective" forwarding unit, this does not
  currently have any means of being selective.

* Features. Presumably, someone might wish to only receive video from
  specific sources. There are no external-facing functions at the moment
  that allow for users to select who they receive video from.

* Efficiency. The current scheme treats all video streams as being
  unidirectional. We could be re-using a source video stream as a
  desetnation, too. But to simplify things on this first round, I did it
  this way.
