Summary:                    res_features CLI revamping and removal of default
builtins
Description: 
One problem already talked in previous reports about res_features
(regarding park-dial context) is that wasn't possible to avoid default
builtins for transfers and some parking options, even if you erase your
features.conf. There were hardcoded stuff in res_features.c

I changed it so it's now possible to have a clean installation where
nobody will ever use those default builtins to possible bypass the PBX
restrictions (my own case). Also, I've changed the way information are
displayed in the CLI so now it has a bunch of new parameters shown.

Random thoughts:

1. Having default builtins are wrong because the system may break its own
PBX restrictions

2. And even putting blank options in features.conf to null the builtins is
not very smart, IMHO. It's better have a way to configure them, I mean, at
least the major parameters.

3. Some key information such as timeouts were not getting shown.

4. Also, I have changed the default value for
DEFAULT_FEATURE_DIGIT_TIMEOUT from 500ms to 1000ms so it waits enough. It
was really a short ammount of time to press something in a softphone
keypad, for example.

5. I got rid of the middle column 'Default' in CLI's features show.

Mvanbaak, I'm pretty sure that if this patch is ever accepted into trunk
(not 1.4 as you might have thought) some bug marshall will add a few lines
to UPGRADE.txt stating the changes and why they were proposed, as written
above in the bug description :-)
