Summary:                    [patch] Configurable voicemail option prompts
Description: 
Provide the ability to configure the option prompts in the voicemail
system.  Large voicemail migration projects may warrant that the "new"
system prompts mimic the "old" system prompts. For instance, "Press 4 for
the previous message" could be "Press 3 for the previous message".  This
change would require both a new prompt recording "vm-prev.gsm" and a change
to the case statement in the code.  

These options could be configuration file driven, using something like:

vm-prev-sound="my-vm-prev.gsm"
vm-prev-option=3

The defaults would not need to be specified and would be set to the
current options.

Maybe the functionality is not clear here...   The idea is to allow the
NUMBERS and RECORDINGS to be changed for the different existing options -
it does not change underlying functionality.  These can be changed in the
configuration file, no need for code changes.  The playback files would
only be changed to re-order the prompts or make an option clearer, or
"match" a previous voicemail system's prompts.  This patch is NOT meant to
allow the user to somehow change the functionality of voicemail - only to
be able to configure voicemail to "feel" more like another system that a
user may be accustomed to (when migrating TO asterisk).
