Summary:                    [patch] Functions INC and DEC
Description: 
Over the course of time, developing Asterisk dialplans becomes fairly
cumbersome, especially when writing While() loops in the dialplan. Mainly,
when we want to iterate a few times, the ever annoying Set(Var=$[${Var} +
1]) is really annoying.
INCrement and DECrement follow the old PASCAL functions, allowing to
increment and decrement a variable.

The functions are built to handle both numeric and alpha-numeric values.
If an alpha-numeric value is given, the functions will simply bail out and
issue a LOG_NOTICE accordingly.

In order to implement this, i've added some functionality to func_math.c
and added a new ast_is_numeric function to strings.h

Please find attached patches for TRUNK.

New patch for strings.h submitted for handling negative numbers, thanks for
the catch on that one.
