Summary:                    [patch] Unable to escape back to dialplan or
operator, using 'o' and 'a' extensions in dialcontext
Description: 
Users cannot get back to the main menu that called app_directory by
pressing the '*' which is configured to start over and beginning of
dialplan entry.

Likewise, the option of dialling '0' while in the Directory application
should execute the 'exten => o,1,NoOp(The Operator) ...

uploaded extensions_o_a.diff.txt

If valid 'o' or 'a' extension exist in the dialcontext then let pbx
execute them.

<u>Previously:</u>
  pressing '0' or '*' caused do_directory() to return 0.

  returning 0 from do_directory, keeps user in 'directory_exec' for(;;)
loop.
  returning -1 from do_directory, breaks out of 'directory_exec' for(;;)
loop.

<u>Now:</u>
  pressing '0' or '*' causes do_directory() to return '0' or '*'.

  returning 0 from do_directory, keeps user in 'directory_exec' for(;;)
loop.
  returning NonZero from do_directory, breaks out of 'directory_exec'
for(;;) loop, and will dialplan will continue on at appropriate extension
dialcontext:exten=>o,1,... or dialcontext:exten=>a,1,...
  returning -1 from do_directory, breaks out of 'directory_exec' for(;;)
loop, and will cause a Hangup.
