  Add an API for reporting security events, and a security event logging module.
  
  This commit introduces the security events API.  This API is to be used by
  Asterisk components to report events that have security implications.
  A simple example is when a connection is made but fails authentication.  These
  events can be used by external tools manipulate firewall rules or something
  similar after detecting unusual activity based on security events.
  
  Inside of Asterisk, the events go through the ast_event API.  This means that
  they have a binary encoding, and it is easy to write code to subscribe to these
  events and do something with them.
  
  One module is provided that is a subscriber to these events - res_security_log.
  This module turns security events into a parseable text format and sends them
  to the "security" logger level.  Using logger.conf, these log entries may be
  sent to a file, or to syslog.
  
  One service, AMI, has been fully updated for reporting security events.
  AMI was chosen as it was a fairly straight forward service to convert.
  The next target will be chan_sip.  That will be more complicated and will
  be done as its own project as the next phase of security events work.
  
  For more information on the security events framework, see the documentation
  generated from doc/tex/.  "make asterisk.pdf"
