David M. Lee 7d0d1a1efb ari: User better nicknames for ARI operations
While working on building client libraries from the Swagger API, I
noticed a problem with the nicknames.

    channel.deleteChannel()
    channel.answerChannel()
    channel.muteChannel()

Etc. We put the object name in the nickname (since we were generating C
code), but it makes OO generators redundant.

This patch makes the nicknames more OO friendly. This resulted in a lot
of name changing within the res_ari_*.so modules, but not much else.

There were a couple of other fixed I made in the process.

 * When reversible operations (POST /hold, POST /unhold) were made more
   RESTful (POST /hold, DELETE /unhold), the path for the second operation
   was left in the API declaration. This worked, but really the two
   operations should have been on the same API.
 * The POST /unmute operation had still not been REST-ified.

This directory contains templates and template processing code for generating
HTTP bindings for the RESTful API's.

The RESTful API's are declared using [Swagger][swagger]. While Swagger provides
a [code generating toolkit][swagger-codegen], it requires Java to run, which
would be an unusual dependency to require for Asterisk developers.

This code generator is similar, but written in Python. Templates are processed
by using [pystache][pystache], which is a fairly simply Python implementation of
[mustache][mustache].
