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)

> Maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the channel naming scheme,
but doesn't the channel name contain the relevant peer name?

I guess this depends on the implementation in the channel driver. In my
case I only use SIP thus I preferred to use the SIP-peername directly.
