This is why the Local channel exists and can be used directly in the Originate.  There is no need for this change.

> When initiating an AMI Originate event the Caller ID sent to the originating channel (Calling Party) is not settable in the manager action.  As a result the originating channel is sent CallerID containing the calling device's name.  This patch adds a new variable (ChanCallerID) to the Originate action so that any CallerID can be arbitrarily sent to the originator.  If the variable is not set then the original behavior is maintained.  ChanCallerID should be specified as a regular asterisk callerid value (e.g. Jamuel Starkey <4152000404>).
