Summary:                    [patch] Fake answer start in app_dial
Description: 
When using H (hangup by "*") or d (exit on DTMF) while invoking Dial(),
this makes app_dial answering incoming channel immediately, not waiting
until outbount channel answers.

I guess this was done to be able to cancel call by hitting "*" not waiting
until it's answered.

But this stuff completely breaks logic for those who perform billing of
the subscribers with Asterisk, because in this case subscribers get CDR
with call duration that is longer that actual (and actually they are
charged money for the calls that were not connected)

Answering the channel when those options are used is the expected and
intended behavior.
