Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

v4:
- moved directory installation logic to installdirs.  We now check if the directory exists before creating it.  TODO: for loop and simple function check.
- update asterisk.conf and set runuser and rungroup if needed.


Summary
-------

Make Asterisk install as non-root, this is now the default behavior.

3 new configure options:
--with-user=uid
--with-group=gid
--disable-non-root

Various changes to Makefile, prefer install over mkdir, mv, chmod and chgrp.
