Summary:                    [patch] VM_CALLERID yields different results if CID
is null or empty
Description: 
Thanks Corydon76 for the patch, but although VM_CIDNAME and VM_CIDNUM have
been dealt with VM_CALLERID still yields different results depending on if
callerid is NULL or empty string.

Perhaps modifying ast_callerid_merge() to treat both NULL and empty string
caller ID the same way is the solution?

I've attached a patch for this where ast_callerid_merge() uses
!ast_strlen_zero() to check for string length for name and num.

I don't really think that's the right solution.  If you only want "unknown"
in voicemail, then there's no reason to modify the core.  I especially
think that the core behavior is correct, especially for other places.
