[asterisk-r2] openr2 support with HFC-E1 card

[Moises Silva]

OpenR2 currently just works with zaptel or dahdi drivers. Any card
that works with those drivers will work with openr2, therefore, Digium
and Sangoma boards are not the only ones, I think there is openvox
boards and others that use zaptel/dahdi drivers.
