Summary
-------

VoiceMail() already has the ability to escape to the single digit 'a' extension.

Where a site uses VoicemailMain(mailbox) the users have to be at their own extension to clear their voicemail, they have no way of escaping VoicemailMain to allow the escape to offer , there are other reasons to require escape also.
Or alternately a 2nd extension is rung where VoicemailMain() is called without the mailbox parmeter, and asks for Mailbox and Password.

This patch, allows a site to include to 'a' priority in the VoicemailMain context, to allow an escape.

If the 'a' priority doesn't exist in the context VoicemailMain is called from then it acts as the old behaviour.

Testing
-------

Tested both VoicemailMain and VMauthenticate with the 'a' extension present and not. All 4 senarios performed as expected.
Using the following dialplan:

[voicemail-main]
exten => s,1,Answer()

exten => s,n,VMAuthenticate()
exten => s,n,VoicemailMain()
exten => s,n,Verbose(0,After VoicemainMain)
exten => s,n,Hangup

exten => a,1,Verbose(0,User entered *)
exten => a,n,Playback(connecting)
exten => a,n,Goto(s,1)


Thanks,
