Most of what you did was unneeded... it's already possible to do
wildcard includes in sip.conf to include the contents of your
'extensions' directory.

Effectively, the only change that needs to be made is for chan_sip to
build new peer/user objects from the config file, but only replace them
if they are actually different from the ones already in memory. Doing
that would then remove the burden of having to reload specific peers or
users from the CLI, since 'sip reload' would properly touch only the
peers and users that were changed.
