Changes
-------

Here is a functional T.38 Gateway has taken me a while but its here.

- No more hijacking of core loop and no replacement dial function all wrapped up into res_fax.
- both T.30 and T.38 sides are now using generator API to send improving reliability of T.30
- Changes to SIP T.38 negotiate from r1115 now moved here as they required can we close 1115 ??
- chan_sip has a t38switchover option that switches to T.38 if needed
- switchover code removed from the main loop does not belong there see above
- A generic faxdetect app that i use for testing i propose be put into res_fax ??
- Only start sending T.30 when we have a T.38 packet
- app_faxdetect answers the channel if not answered and listens for CNG/CED storing deferred packets and queuing a T.38 on detect.

see bellow for a example of SIP t38 switchover on faxdetect. 
[please note i have removed T.38 support from chan_local use the F option for ReceiveFAX]

Summary
-------

Hi there the patch that was going around circa 2008 to implement this in 1.4/1.6 app_fax has been moved to trunk [1.10]
ive made some cleanups and moved it into res_fax res_fax_spandsp this is the framework and not production code
unfortunately i have no means of testing it at the moment and require help.

i have cleaned the code up substantially it is related to R459

hope this is found useful and aids in the goal to get it in 1.10.

Adds application FaxGateway / FaxDetect
Adds alternate bridge to Dial with new option.


This addresses bug 13405.
