Summary:                    After Dial's L() limit is reached, res_feature's
dynamic features don't work
Description: 
There's a problem with channel.c's ast_channel_bridge and how the limit
functionality is implemented. 

We have a dynamic feature from res_features set to happen when the user
hits star. (It calls an AGI and does an IVR to let a user add money to
their account.)

We use the L option to add dial to limit the call and play a warning when
the limit is low.

After the limit is reached, however, hitting star repeats the warning
instead of actually activating the feature.  This is a problem of us
because the warning message says to hit star, but now hitting star replays
the message.

The reason for this is that hitting the key sends you back into the for
(/*ever/*) loop in channels.c, and the if statement on line 4160 is still
true, so it plays the warning again instead of processing the dtmf. 

Since we weren't doing replays on the warning, we patched asterisk to set
config->play_warning to 0 in the else block of the "if
(config->warning_freq && (time_left_ms > (config->warning_freq + 5000)))"
line. However, that's not a generic solution.

    Modify bridging to properly evaluate DTMF after first warning is
played

    The main problem is currently if the Dial flag L is used with a
warning sound,
    DTMF is not evaluated after the first warning sound. To fix this, a
flag has 
    been added in ast_generic_bridge for playing the warning which ensures
that if
    a scheduled warning is missed, multiple warrnings are not played back
(due to a
    feature evaluation or waiting for digits). ast_channel_bridge was
modified to
    store the nexteventts in the ast_bridge_config structure as that
information
    was lost every time ast_channel_bridge was reentered, causing a hangup
due to
    incorrect time calculations.
