Goto and Gotoif do not work in pbx_lua unless you 'return' right after
them.  There is not much point in using them because you have real 'if'
statements and function calls to do jumps.  There are no priorities,
every extension matches on priority 1.  Extensions are lua functions and
execute as such.
