Summary:                    Add the immediate=yes option to chan_iax2
Description: 
IAX phones and devices (such as the IAXy) are cool.  When you pick up the
phone, a message is sent (even before you dial), and just like on the DAHDI
FSX devices, code gets executed.

DAHDI has "immediate=yes" so that when you pick up the phone, you get
connected directly to the "s" extension.  This is useful for lobby phones,
elevator phones, manual service (number please), etc.

It was nearly trivial to implement in chan_iax2.c.  I made a deliberate
decision to only implement it for users/friends who authenticate (as any
properly connected phone or ATA would).  Simply add "immediate=yes" in the
friend or user definition, and when you pick up the phone, instead of
dialtone, you go right to extension "s" in the appropriate context.
