Summary:                    [patch] Properly handle tempates on config
read/write
Description: 
The configuration parser properly handles inherited properties from
templates when loading them from configuration files, but miss-handles them
when writing the configuration back to disk.

The attached patch denotes a context which has been built from a template
by automatically adding a variable called "inherited_" which is set to the
parent category name.  When the config handler writes the file, it checks
to see if a category is marked as inherited_ and if so, only writes those
values which are absent from the parent context.

Leif,

Not sure if it's the way the CLI handles add and save.  The intent of the
patch was to avoid overwrite (actually literal inclusion) of the
"inherited" options when saving the dialplan via the Manager
(UpdateConfig).  Perhaps the "dialplan save" command or the "add extension"
commands operate somewhat differently.

Thanks,

-S
