Summary:                    [patch] new CLI commands for handling dialplan
variables and name standartization for the old ones
Description: 
Some commands like 'core set global' should actually be called 'dialplan
set global' as they deal with dialplan variables directly (they even state
that in their help messages), so I decided to change them after commenting
about it on #asterisk-dev. I'm not sure about the consequences of it since
a deprecated warning should be printed, but I will let it to someone more
experienced to decide.

Since there are CLI commands to set new global and per channel variables I
also decided to create equivalent ones to unset these variables as they'd
stay in memory forever until a reload or restart is executed. Not good, now
I can unset them :-)

Ultimately there was not a way to list all those per channel variables set
with 'dialplan set chanvar <channel> <name> <value>', except parsing the
very long output of DumpChan(). I created a command called 'dialplan show
chanvar <channel>', using the same idea from 'show globals' and dumping all
variables associated with the given channel.

This patch renames the CLI functions.
The old functions should be deprecated first, and be removed a release
later.

If you want, I can add this to your patch.
