[Asterisk-doc] "The Extensions.conf Cookbook" chapter

[Jared Smith]

Hmmn... looking better... let me take another stab at it below.  I think
the in-depth section on configuration of channels ought to be it's own
chapter.  

Again, please make a lot of noise and let me know your opinions so that
we can get this right!
