Summary:                    [patch] Don't answer the incoming call until ready
to bridge
Description: 
followme() answers the incoming call if it hasn't been answered already and
starts MOH. Poorly designed robocalls (ones that don't prompt for a
keypress first, I guess) see the answer and start playing their message to
the hold music.

This patch adds a 'N' option to followme (no answer), which causes
asterisk to indicate ringing and not answer until it's ready to bridge the
call. It will cause at least options 's' and 'a' to be ignored.
