Change subject: pbx.c: Simplify ast_context memory management.
......................................................................

pbx.c: Simplify ast_context memory management.

Allocate all of the ast_context's character data in the structure's
flexible array member and eliminate the clunky fake_context. This will
simplify future changes to ast_context.
