The ast_json structure is used in many Asterisk headers and is often the
only part of json.h used. This adds a forward declaration to asterisk.h
and removes the include of json.h from many headers. The declaration
has been left in endpoints.h and stasis.h to avoid problems with source
files that use ast_json functions without directly including json.h.
ari.h continues to include json.h as it uses enum
ast_json_encoding_format.

When res_corosync detects that a node leaves or joins, it currently is
informed of this via Corosync callbacks. However, there are a few
limitations with the information presented:
(1) While we have information that Corosync is aware of - such as the
Corosync nodeid - that information is really only useful inside of
Corosync or res_corosync. There's no way to translate a Corosync
nodeid to some other internally useful unique identifier for the
Asterisk instance that just joined or left the cluster.
(2) While res_corosync is notified of the instance joining or leaving
the cluster, it has no mechanism to inform the Asterisk core or
other modules of this event. This limits the usefulness of res_corosync
as a heartbeat mechanism for other modules.
This patch addresses both issues.
First, it adds the notion of a cluster discovery message both within the
Stasis message bus, as well as the binary event messages that
res_corosync uses to transmit data back and forth within the cluster.
When Asterisk joins the cluster, it sends a discovery message to the other
nodes in the cluster, which correlates the Corosync nodeid along with
the Asterisk EID. res_corosync now maintains a hash of Corosync nodeids
to Asterisk EIDs, such that it can map changes in cluster state with the
Asterisk instance that has that nodeid. Likewise, when an Asterisk
instance receives a discovery message from a node in the cluster, it now
sends its own discovery message back to the originating node with the
local Asterisk EID. This lets Asterisk instances within the cluster
build a complete picture of the other Asterisk instances within the
cluster.
Second, it publishes the discovery messages onto the Stasis message bus.
Said messages are published whenever a node joins or leaves the cluster.
Interested modules can subscribe for the ast_cluster_discovery_type()
message under the ast_system_topic() and be notified when changes in
cluster state occur.
