Document CDR behavior on the Asterisk wiki
------------------------------------------

                 Key: ASTERISK-20521
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20521
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
          Components: CDR/General
            Reporter: Matt Jordan


CDRs behavior is tricky.  The fact that its tricky causes a lot of people frustration:
* Things that people think should work, don't
* People report bugs because CDRs either don't capture the information they want, or do something they don't expect
* Those issues either get closed out because the behavior is undefined, or they languish in the issue tracker

If we aren't going to support certain CDR behavior - because that behavior is by definition undefined - then we should say so on the Asterisk wiki.  The page should provide:

* How CDRs work in 'standard' two party calls
* How CDRs work in Queues
* How CDRs can be manipulated by using various cdr configuration settings
* Where CDRs are undefined and why
* A concrete statement that only violations to the defined behavior and to cdr settings are candidates for fixing in release branches.
* Changes in CDR behavior only occurs in new versions
* We will not attempt to change undefined behavior.
