Summary:                    Add audio announce option to app_page.c
Description: 
It adds an extra option 'A(x)' to app_page (similar to Dial 'A(x)'), to
playback an announce simultaneously in all paged phones and (caller's one)
before conference bridge is activated.

Something like this:

exten => **,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Ring Answer)
exten => **,n,Page(SIP/100&SIP/101,qA(chime))

where 'chime' is an audio file with a typical "airport" announce.

There's also another option 'n' that makes only to play announce in all
paged phones and not to play in caller's phone. If this was not specified
the announce were played simultaneously in SIP phone 100, 101 and in
caller's headset.
This is tipically used with Polycom phones, passing a SIP header that
makes the paged phones to autoanswer the call in hands-free speaker.

To acomplish this task, the only way that I found is to modify also
app_meetme, adding an option for play an arbitrary announce at start of
conference (G(x) option). The patch works for trunk, I also have a patch
for 1.4.23.
