Changing make_trunk() to use a compare operator instead of a bit test should remove all requirements that IAX_MAX_CALLS be a power of two.  It should be recommended that IAX_MAX_CALLS be a power of two for ease of distinguishing normal/trunk calls in IAX traces but not required.

If LOW_MEMORY is defined, IAX_MAX_CALLS will be 2048, TRUNK_CALL_START will be 1024 (0x400).  So other than the parentheses, is any other change needed?

> While populating the list of available call numbers in IAX2 when LOW_MEMORY is not defined, we use every number between 2 and 32768 (inclusive).  32768 is a 16 bit number (a 1 followed by 15 0s).  According to the IAX2 RFC, call numbers are 15 bit values, making 32768 invalid.
