Summary:                    [patch] "setvar" can add multiple variables with the
same name to a channel
Description: 
Suppose the following piece of chan_dahdi.conf:

  setvar=V1=foo
  channel => 1

  setvar=V2=bar
  channel => 2

  setvar=V1=baz
  channel => 3

In the current trunk version, each channel (dahdi_pvt structure) will have
his own copies of the variables (after
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16359 fix). For example, the
ast_variables linked list for channel 3 will have the following form:

  channel 3:   V1=foo -> V2=bar -> V1=baz

When a call is made and dahdi_new(...) is executed, dahdi_new(...) will
processes the variables list left-to-right, so for a call in channel 3 the
value of V1 for that call will be finally "baz" because is the last one to
be set by dahdi_new(...). This makes the bug benevolous, the call variables
will be ok, but if you do a "dahdi show channel 3" you will see the two
versions of V1, and that's wrong. Before the
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16359 fix the bug was worse,
because the call in channel 3 got V1=foo.

A patch against trunk removing the duplicates is attached.

Also, there is a conceptual mismatch. The documentation in
chan_dahdi.conf.sample states that "setvar" defines a "Channel variable to
be set for all calls from this channel". Maybe the correct behaviour is to
get only V1 defined for channel 3 and not V2, by resetting the setvar list
(confp->chan.vars) after each "channel" statement. 

I also think the linked list built at confp->chan.vars is probably leaking
across reloads.

      reload Chan_dahdi memory leak caused by variables

      chan_dahdi reloading with variables set via setvar in
chan_dahdi.conf would
      stay in the dahdi_pvt structs for individual channels (causing them
to just
      continue adding the new ones to the list) and also there was a
memory leak
      causes by the conf objects. This patch resolves both of these by
using 
      ast_variables_destroy during the loading process.
