Summary:                    [patch] Prevent false answer of channel when going
off-hook
Description: 
With answeronpolarityswitch=no asterisk answers channel soon after dialout
has started, or perhaps just finished. Causing Ringing for the caller to
stop, then silence for a while as the call is setup, then telco ringing is
heard and call proceedes as normal.
 
With answeronpolarityswitch=yes asterisk answers channel as soon as the
line goes off-hook. The user hears a very short Ring from Asterisk, long
silence as digits are dialled out and call is setup, then finally telco
ring is heard.
This is caused in our case because the line does a polarity reversal when
going off hook.

I have modifed wctdm.c that adds polarityignore in 3 sections of the code,
strcut fxo, wctdm_voicedaa_check_hook and wctdm_hooksig.

I'll upload for your comment, but welcome any advice if there is a better
way.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A feature similar to polarityonanswerdelay, maybe a new parameter
polarityoffhookdelay could perhaps be implemented at the chan_dahdi level,
instead of the wctdm driver. Then I believe all FXO cards would inherit the
feature.

The attached concept test code work flawlessly today for around 60 calls
to our 'on account' mobile phones.
