Kevin Harwell 363bafc29e stasis_state: Add new stasis_state module
This new module describes an API that can be thought of as a combination of
stasis topic pools, and caching. Except, hopefully done in a more efficient
and less memory "leaky" manner.

The API defines methods, and data structures for managing, and tracking
published message state through stasis. By adding a subscriber or publisher,
consumers can more easily track the lifetime of the contained state. For
instance, when no more publishers and/or subscribers have need of the topic,
and associated state its data is removed from the managed container.

* stasis_state_manager *

The manager stores and well, manages state data. Each state is an association
of a unique stasis topic, and the last known published stasis message on that
topic. There is only ever one managed state object per topic. For each topic
all messages are forwarded to an "all" topic also maintained by the manager.

* stasis_state_subscriber *

Topic and state can be created, or referenced within the manager by adding a
stasis_state_subscriber. When adding a subscriber if no state currently exists
new managed state is immediately created. If managed state already exists then
a new subscriber is created referencing that state. The managed state is
guaranteed to live throughout the subscriber's lifetime. State is only removed
from the manager when no other entities require it.

* stasis_state_publisher *

Topic and state can be created, or referenced within the manager by also adding
a stasis_state_publisher. When adding a publisher if no state currently exists
new managed state is created. If managed state already exists then a new
publisher is created referencing that state. The managed state is guaranteed to
live throughout the publisher's lifetime. State is only removed from the
manager when no other entities require it.

* stasis_state_observer *

Some modules may wish to watch for, and react to managed state events. By
registering a state observer, and implementing handlers for the desired
callbacks those modules can do so.

* other *

Callbacks also exist that allow consumers to iterate over all, or some of the
managed state.

* \brief Stasis State API.
*
* \par Intro
*
* This module defines the data structures, and handling of "state" for topics within
* stasis. State is defined as the last stasis message, and its contained message data,
* published on a given topic.
*
* Concepts to know:
* - \ref stasis_state_manager
* - \ref stasis_state_subscriber
* - \ref stasis_state_publisher
* - \ref stasis_state_observer
*
* \par stasis_state_manager
*
* The manager stores and well, manages state data. Each state is an association of
* a unique stasis topic, and the last known published stasis message on that topic.
* There is only ever one managed state object per topic. For each topic all messages
* are forwarded to an "all" topic also maintained by the manager. This allows
* subscriptions to all managed topics, and their state. Managed state is created in
* one of several ways:
*
* Adding an explicit subscriber
* Adding an explicit publisher
* Adding an implicit publisher
* Retrieving a stasis state topic from the manager via the \ref stasis_state_topic
* function prior to doing one of the above (DO NOT DO THIS).
*
* More on the first three options later (see relevant section descriptions below). The
* last option, creation through retrieving a topic is not only NOT recommended, but
* should NOT even BE DONE. Doing so will inevitably result in a memory leak. Why then
* is this even allowed? The short answer is backwards compatibility. The slightly longer
* answer is at the time of this module's creation that's how things were historically
* done using a combination of stasis topic management spread throughout various other
* modules, and stasis caching. And yes it did cause a memory leak.
*
* Preferably, any new code wishing to track topics and states should do so by adding
* either an explicit subscriber and/or publisher.
*
* \par stasis_state_subscriber
*
* As mentioned, topic and state can be created, or referenced within the manager by adding
* a \ref stasis_state_subscriber. When adding a subscriber if no state currently exists
* new managed state is immediately created. If managed state already exists then a new
* subscriber is created referencing that state. The managed state is guaranteed to live
* throughout the subscriber's lifetime. State is only removed from the manager when no
* other entities require it (no more subscribers, or publishers).
*
* Subscribers are ao2 objects. Therefore there is no explicit cleanup required aside from
* dereferencing the subscriber object using normal ao2 dereferencing methods.
*
* \par stasis_state_publisher
*
* There are two ways of tracking publishers: explicitly and implicitly.
*
* Topic and state can be created, or referenced within the manager by also explicitly adding
* a \ref stasis_state_publisher. When adding a publisher if no state currently exists new
* managed state is created. If managed state already exists then a new publisher is created
* referencing that state. The managed state is guaranteed to live throughout the publisher's
* lifetime. State is only removed from the manager when no other entities require it (no more
* publishers, or subscribers).
*
* Explicit publishers are ao2 objects. Therefore there is no cleanup required aside from
* dereferencing the publisher object using normal ao2 dereferencing methods.
*
* When adding an explicit publisher, messages should be published using the \ref
* stasis_state_publish function. This not only skips a lookup, but doesn't add an implicit
* publisher. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive it's just that the two ways exist
* to solve two different problems.
*
* For example (using an explicit publisher):
*
* // Add an explicit publisher to topic/state "8675309" within
* // a given manager context
* pub = stasis_state_add_publisher(manager, "8675309");
*
* // Publish a stasis message to the topic/state
* stasis_state_publish(pub, msg);
*
* // Publish another a stasis message to the topic/state
* stasis_state_publish(pub, msg);
*
* // Done with the publisher release the reference
* ao2_ref(pub, -1);
*
* An implicit publisher can also be created by calling \ref stasis_state_publish_by_id. Calling
* this function not only publishes the message within stasis (creating managed state if needed)
* it also sets up internal tracking of the publishing module using an \ref ast_eid. However, a
* final call to \ref stasis_state_remove_publish_by_id must be done in order to remove the eid
* reference, which will subsequently allow the underlying managed state to be eventually deleted.
*
* For example (using an implicit publisher):
*
* // Publish a stasis message to topic/state 8675309 within a
* // given manager context and use the system's default eid
* stasis_state_publish_by_id(manager, "8675309", NULL, msg);
*
* // Do some stuff and then publish again
* stasis_state_publish_by_id(manager, "8675309", NULL, msg);
*
* // Done with all our publishing, so post a final clearing
* // message and remove the implicit publisher
* stasis_state_remove_publish_by_id(manager, "8675309", NULL, msg);
*
* Explicit publisher/publishing is preferred. However, implicit publishing is allowed for those
* situations where it makes more sense to do so, but has been implemented mostly for backwards
* compatibility with some modules (using implicit publishing required less initial code changes
* to some legacy subsystems).
*
* \par stasis_state_observer
*
* Some modules may wish to watch for, and react to managed state events. By registering a state
* observer, and implementing handlers for the desired callbacks those modules can do so.
