I think this is a great idea, and I wonder why nobody ever thought of  
it before.  I wonder if we are missing something.

I suppose the ast_app and ast_custom_function structures could  
maintain a reference to the corresponding module structure, and add  
the use count and localusers list to the module structure.  I suppose  
we'd have to take the same approach with registered CLI commands and  
manager actions as well.

Then, we could add the equivalent of STANDARD_HANGUP_LOCALUSERS to  
ast_unload_resource().

Is that pretty much what you were thinking?
