Summary:                    Allow R/W of pickupgroup channel variable
Description: 
At first glance this is not needed but there is a application for it.

i have a large site that uses asterisk for all connections to trunks the
existing legacy PBX is been phased out
as it has no spares or capacity.

in the dialplan i want to allow call pickup if a call comes in on the
DAHDI ports to the PBX i want to set the pickup group from
the real time database and then run the pickup application this can be
done with pickup mark this is not ideal as the SIP phones are using
pickupgroup/changroup settings.

small change to allow reading / setting pickupgroup to help transition.
