Summary:                    "requirecalltoken" config directive not respected
globally
Description: 
While migrating to Asterisk 1.6 I found that the "requirecalltoken=auto"
does not appear to be respected when set globally.  Digging into the
chan_iax2.c sources, it appears that the configuration directive is only
checked in the context of users and peers.  I tested and can confirm that
requirecalltoken is respected when set on individual iax2 peers and users.

The iax.conf that is distributed with Asterisk 1.6 makes it sound like
requirecalltoken is only settable in the context of a peer/user/friend, but
the example is provided globally (see iax.conf line 335).

If the intent is NOT to allow requirecalltoken globally, then the example
config file should be updated.  However, I believe it would be useful to
allow administrators to set requirecalltoken globally as a matter of
policy.  If the Asterisk developers agree with my opinion, I am willing to
create a patch to that effect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Changing the severity to feature for now, but it looks like the sample
files should probably be updated to not show this globally.

However it may be that the developers consider it not being globally
available as a bug, so I'm not going to change anything for now. This is
another thing that you might want to bring up on the asterisk-dev mailing
list. Thanks!
