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.

Small bug: your two patches pbx-branch-1.4-97753.diff and
pbx-trunk-98436.diff stop working if there's no global variables defined.
This is due to the test AST_LIST_FIRST(&globals) which should be moved to
wrap only the call to pbx_substitute_variables_varshead() and the
subsequent assignment.

Workaround: define some dummy local variable.
