Summary:                    [patch]: Added control over the spying party and
ability to spy on calls both ways, including incoming on queue.
Description: 
Recap: app_chanspy had a couple of things that made it more or less
functional.

1. The spying party could spy on whoever he wanted once he was in chanspy,
by 
pressing the "*" key to change channels at will. If it was the CEO on the
phone 
he could spy on him. Aside from some manager stuff, or by using a clever
extension numbering scheme (i.e. all spyable extensions begin by the number
two), it was impossible to control the spy. This is undeniably a problem.
This is rectified by this patch.

2. Spying could not be made to happen on incoming calls! It would be
impossible 
to monitor calls incoming on a queue, so whispering to your employees was
not 
possible, aside from some manager hacking. This was also undeniably a
problem. 
This is also rectified by this patch.

3. If you somehow managed to hack your way into the possibility of spying
on 
incoming calls, you could not be sure to who you attached! For all you
know you 
could have been whispering to the client! This is a huge problem. This is
also 
fixed by this patch.

So this is a sort of 3 for 1 deal.

Late but not forgotten!

I'll pay some attention to it to correct those various aspects you
commented on.

I'll do it as soon as humanly possible, but give me a few days to have
some time to spare, I need to clear up some work first.
