pbx_variables.c: Create real channel for "dialplan eval function".

"dialplan eval function" has been using a dummy channel for function
evaluation, much like many of the unit tests. However, sometimes, this
can cause issues for functions that are not expecting dummy channels.
As an example, ast_channel_tech(chan) is NULL on such channels, and
ast_channel_tech(chan)->type consequently results in a NULL dereference.
Normally, functions do not worry about this since channels executing
dialplan aren't dummy channels.

While some functions are better about checking for these sorts of edge
cases, use a real channel with a dummy technology to make this CLI
command inherently safe for any dialplan function that could be evaluated
from the CLI.
