Summary:                    Allow channel unique IDs when searching for channels
by name
Description: 
This patch allows the use of UniqueIDs in applications and the manager API
anytime a channel name would be specified.

The race condition appears when the dialplan is trying to redirect a
channel that has just connected.  The channel may be undergoing renaming
due to an AsyncGoto or other masquerading operation.

So, the only race is one introduced because the channel doesn't have a
stable name.  The patch fixes that, by making the uniqueid into a stable
name, so that AMI applications using the uniqueid for their work won't have
the channel renamed out from under them.
