Summary:                    [patch] Add 'e' extension to handle application
errors
Description: 
Currently when an application encounters an error asterisk hangs up the
channel.  This patch adds a special 'e' extension (like the 'i' extension)
to gracefully handle these errors instead of hanging up the channel.

This patch defines three new macros: AST_PBX_HANGUP (-1), AST_PBX_OK (0),
and AST_PBX_ERROR (1).  If an application returns AST_PBX_ERROR then the
'e' extension is triggered.

If an application executing on the 'e' exten encounters an error, the call
is terminated similar to how errors are handled now.
