Summary:                    [patch] export the SIP peer username of the
transferer
Description: 
Hi!

When a blind transfer is initiated from a SIP, often the name of the
transferer is needed (e.g. billing, applying restrictions ...). Currently
there is a variable called SIPTRANSFER_REFERER which contains the value of
the Refered-By header - but this variable is not trustworthy, as the SIP
client can put anything into this variable.

Attached patch adds the variables SIPTRANSFERER_PEERNAME and
SIPTRANSFERER_USERNAME which contain the respective SIP username (peer or
user)

Still, I'd like to see a dialplan function access the values, instead of
polluting the variable namespace.  If that means that you pass more values
through the referedby structure, then that may be the approach to take.
