Matthew Jordan a2c912e997 media formats: re-architect handling of media for performance improvements
In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
 1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
 2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
    A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.

Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.

Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.

Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.

Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
 * The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
   of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
 * In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
   ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
   tenet at your peril!
 * Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
   The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
   ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
   inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
   added at run-time but cannot be removed.
 * All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
   been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
   is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
   for interoperability concerns.
 * When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
   represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
   cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
   underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
   different attributes or without attributes.
 * While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
   on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
   and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
   to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
   format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
   the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
   from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
   non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
   the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.

There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the
following issues/patch names simply reflect some of the work (and will cause
the release scripts to give attribution to the individuals who work on them).
