Summary:                    No clean way to get a list of active channels in the
dialplan
Description: 
There is currently no clean way to get a list of active channels from
within the dialplan -- the cleanest method that's currently possible is an
AGI script, which requires the extra overhead of spawning a new process. 
Since I need to fetch the channel list for each call attempt to an agent
(from app_queue), the wasted CPU time would be substantial.

The attached patch adds a function named CHANNELS() to
funcs/func_channel.c, which will return all active channels matching the
regular expression passed as an argument, or the entire list of active
channels if no argument is specified.
