This is one of those features that is embarrassingly simple and yet,
unfortunately, was overlooked.

Ideally, it'd be in the CHANNEL function.

If anyone is curious, the accessor function you want is
ast_channel_callid. It returns the callid ref bumped, so you do have
to make sure you decrement the ref count using ast_callid_unref. You
can print the callid to the CHANNEL function's buffer using
ast_callid_strnprint.
