Summary:                    Allow restart Voice Menu from given step
Description: 
Currenly in Asterisk GUI we have actions:
- Goto menu
- Goto extention
- Hangup
- Play Invalid.
If you choose i => Play Invalid binding every wrong choice results in
remote party disconnect (hangup). And he must dial again. It's not good.
I see 2 choices:
- Refactor Play invalid so that it will just play invalid and wait for
next choice (possible good solution)
- Add new action "Restart from step", which is a simple Goto to the same
context to the given priority. It will add a very good flexibility. Also
why not add "Goto context" action with selection of context, exten and
prio?

Thx.

I know there is no extension 4. This is the goal - to demonstrate you that
i => Playback(invalid) is not sufficient. 
I am using GUI to manage voice menus. Did you look at the screenshot? 
My opinion was that current implementation of 'i' exten in voice menu in
GUI is unusable. And proposal was to do 2 things:
1) Change playback(invalid) to Playback(invalid) & Goto(s,1) ; Restart
menu
2) Replace 'Goto menu' and 'Goto extention' actions to one flexible
Goto(context,exten,prio).
