   causing multiple MWI subscriptions to be created when using realtime.
   (Closes issue #18342. Reported, patched by nivek.)

* Fix XMPP PubSub-based distributed device state. Initialize pubsubflags to 0

   device state. Also clean up CLI commands a bit.
   (Closes issue #18272. Reported by klaus3000. Patched by Marquis42)

* Don't crash after Set(CDR(userfield)=...) in ast_bridge_call. Instead of

* Fixes issue with outbound google voice calls not working. Thanks to az1234
   and nevermind_quack for their input in helping debug the issue.
