Updated CHANGES to reflect new functionality added

Through testing and development I've noticed a bit of a problem with the implementation of GROUP_COUNT and GROUP_MATCH_COUNT

Say you have the following dialplan:
Set(GROUP()=foo);
Set(GROUP()=foo at bar);
Set(GROUP()=foo at baz);
DumpGroups();
NoOp(---GROUP_COUNT---);
NoOp(foo: ${GROUP_COUNT(foo)});
NoOp(foo@: ${GROUP_COUNT(foo@)});
NoOp(@bar: ${GROUP_COUNT(.*@bar)});
NoOp(@baz: ${GROUP_COUNT(.*@baz)});
NoOp(foo at bar: ${GROUP_COUNT(foo)});
NoOp(foo at baz: ${GROUP_COUNT(foo)});

When executed you get:
    -- Executing [44 at cos_internal+local+ld:1] Set("SIP/6255-00000000", "__DialedNumber=44") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at cos_internal+local+ld:2] Goto("SIP/6255-00000000", "_cos_internal+local+ld,44,1") in new stack
    -- Goto (_cos_internal+local+ld,44,1)
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:1] Set("SIP/6255-00000000", "GROUP()=foo") in new stack

    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:3] Set("SIP/6255-00000000", "GROUP()=foo at baz") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:4] DumpGroups("SIP/6255-00000000", "") in new stack

The count returned is 3 !!!

To me this is clearly a bug, especially with the counts of foo at bar and foo at baz, which should be 1

There's a new function I added: GROUP_CHANNELS_MATCH_COUNT() which correctly counts channels in groups, versus occurrences of groups.

    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:27] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "---GROUP_CHANNELS_MATCH_COUNT---") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:28] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "foo: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:29] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "foo@: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:30] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "@bar: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:31] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "@baz: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:32] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "foo at bar: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:33] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "foo at baz: 1") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:34] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "something: 0") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:35] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "something@: 0") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:36] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "something at nothing: 0") in new stack
    -- Executing [44 at _cos_internal+local+ld:37] NoOp("SIP/6255-00000000", "@nothing: 0") in new stack

I think the code behind GROUP_CHANNELS_MATCH_COUNT should replace GROUP_COUNT, especially because of the instructions from sip.conf which read:
For call-limit:
; There is no combined call counter for a "friend"
; so there's currently no way in sip.conf to limit
; to one inbound or outbound call per phone. Use
; the group counters in the dial plan for that.

Case in point: If an asterisk user who does not understand the quirky internals of GROUP_COUNT wishes to use it to nail down strict capacity limits, they are in for some confusion if they are using group categories and the current GROUP_COUNT().
