These changes add the ability to run 'make asterisk.txt' just like the existing
'make asterisk.pdf' commands to generate a text document from the TeX files we
have in the doc/tex/ directory. I've also updated a few of the .tex files because
they weren't properly escaping certain characters so they would show up as Unicode
characters (like [U+021C]). Made changes to the configure scripts so it would
detect the catdvi program which is required to convert the .dvi file generated
by latex.
I've also added a few lines to the build_tools/prep_tarball script so that the
text documentation gets generated and added to future tarballs of Asterisk
releases.

This commit introduces the security events API. This API is to be used by
Asterisk components to report events that have security implications.
A simple example is when a connection is made but fails authentication. These
events can be used by external tools manipulate firewall rules or something
similar after detecting unusual activity based on security events.
Inside of Asterisk, the events go through the ast_event API. This means that
they have a binary encoding, and it is easy to write code to subscribe to these
events and do something with them.
One module is provided that is a subscriber to these events - res_security_log.
This module turns security events into a parseable text format and sends them
to the "security" logger level. Using logger.conf, these log entries may be
sent to a file, or to syslog.
One service, AMI, has been fully updated for reporting security events.
AMI was chosen as it was a fairly straight forward service to convert.
The next target will be chan_sip. That will be more complicated and will
be done as its own project as the next phase of security events work.
For more information on the security events framework, see the documentation
generated from doc/tex/. "make asterisk.pdf"
