Summary:                    [patch] Allow a simple lookup for hint extensions
Description: 
Currently, all hints must contain only expressions which do not depend upon
a channel definition, since hints may be called without a channel. 
However, since hints are always context- and extension-specific, there
should be a way to reference those indicated values when evaluating a hint.

I have successfully compiled against trunk 98436.

The major difference that I modified from Corydon's change is that I moved
the resolution of the Application variables into the ast_add_extension2
where he had removed them because they were stripping any ${EXTEN} from the
hint.

So now you can do thing like this:

_#45#XXXX,hint,Custom:${EXTEN:4:4}-${r-we-open}

And the system will then generate a hint extension for
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=45#5000 and a
variable for r-we-open=y of

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=45#5000,hint,Custom:5000-y

This works well with the DEVSTATE code in trunk and the backport to 1.4

Good work Corydon.  I love it.
