Summary:                    [regression] Newchannel event is missing during
masquerading process
Description: 
We have an external application, that uses AMI for call monitoring.
After updating asterisk to 1.4.35 the application started to get many
errors/exceptions
During investigation I found that starting version 1.4.32_rc1 of asterisk
new patch was applied because of bug 16957
(https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16957
https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/601/) and Newchannel event is missing
now in "masquerading process" (for example blind transfer by caller)

See attached trace with example of proper sequence of events (previous
version of asterisk):

As you can see asterisk create new channel AsyncGoto/SIP/100-00000008 with
Uniqueid 1284362350.11 for masquerading (actually it's the only channel
left in this call)
In new versions asterisk doesn't send Newchannel event, but this channel
is still used in following events, and our application can't handle these
events because of uknown Uniqueid
It's buggy behavior to use channel that "wasn't created" (wasn't notified
about new channel)

As I understand the purpose of this patch (16957) is prevent sending of
Newchannel event in case of "fake" channels like Bogus/manager,
Logger/rotate, Substitution/voicemail and so on, but unfortunataly it's
affecting on important channels like AsyncGoto/SIP/100-00000008,
Parking/Zap/1-1, Transferred/IAX2/102-00000001 and may be others.

I have attached patch that fix this:
instead of checking 'AsyncGoto' string in list of supported channel types,
it'll check 'SIP' (string between two slashes)
