Summary:                    [patch] Add a new function to check if a
extension[,priority] exits in a context
Description: 
this is a wrapper to ast_exists_extension and/or ast_findlabel_extension

this will be used to avoid goto falling off the map/hanging up ... if
there is no extension 

ie

exten =>t,n,
GotoIf(${ISEXTEN(ivr-${IVRCONT},${NEWUEXTEN})}?ivr-${IVRCONT},${NEWUEXTEN},1)

will work or continue on to next priority or alternate

I would suggest the following changes:

1) Name it "DP_EXISTS" or "DIALPLAN_EXISTS".
2) Make the second argument optional, too.  If you only have a single
argument, use the API functions to traverse the context list, comparing
each name.  You can view the code in apps/app_while.c for an example of how
to do this.
