Daniel Donoghue 60000ce005 stasis_broadcast: Add optional ARI broadcast with first-claim-wins
Adds two optional modules:
res_stasis_broadcast.so: Infrastructure for broadcasting a single incoming
channel to multiple ARI applications with atomic first-claim-wins semantics.

app_stasis_broadcast.so: Provides the StasisBroadcast() dialplan application
which invokes the broadcast infrastructure.

Both modules are self-contained; if neither is loaded there is zero runtime
impact. Loading them does not alter existing Stasis or ARI behavior unless
explicitly used.

Key Features (only active when modules are loaded):
Fisher-Yates shuffled broadcast dispatch for fair claim races
Atomic claim operations using mutex + condition variable signaling
Configurable broadcast timeouts
Safe regex application filtering with validation to mitigate ReDoS risk
Thread-safe channel variable snapshotting (channel locked during reads)
Late-claim safety: broadcast context kept alive until after the Stasis
session ends so concurrent claimants always receive 409 Conflict rather
than 404 Not Found
Memory safety via RAII_VAR, ast_json_ref/unref, and ao2 reference counting

Components Added:
res/res_stasis_broadcast.c: Core broadcast + claim logic
apps/app_stasis_broadcast.c: StasisBroadcast() dialplan application
include/asterisk/stasis_app_broadcast.h: Public API header
res/ari/resource_events.c: Integrates POST /ari/events/claim endpoint
rest-api/api-docs/events.json: New CallBroadcast and CallClaimed events

Implementation Notes:
Broadcast contexts reside in an ao2 hash container keyed by channel id. Each
context holds atomic claim state, winner application name, timeout metadata,
and a condition variable for waiters. Broadcast contexts are kept alive until
after stasis_app_exec() returns so that concurrent claimants racing against
the timeout always receive 409 Conflict. Broadcast dispatch calls
stasis_app_send() directly for each matching application in shuffled order.
Regex filters are validated with bounded length, group depth, quantified
group count, and alternation limits to reduce pathological backtracking.
Timeout calculation uses timespec arithmetic with overflow-safe millisecond
remainder handling. Event JSON follows existing Stasis/ARI conventions;
references are managed correctly to avoid leaks or double frees.

Optional Nature / Impact:
No changes to existing APIs, events, or applications when absent.
Clean fallback: systems ignoring the modules behave identically to prior
versions.

Development was assisted by Claude (Anthropic). All generated code has been
reviewed, tested, and is understood by the author.

UserNote: New optional modules res_stasis_broadcast.so and
app_stasis_broadcast.so enable broadcasting an incoming channel to multiple
ARI applications. The first application to successfully claim (via
POST /ari/events/claim) wins channel control. StasisBroadcast() dialplan
application initiates broadcasts. CallBroadcast and CallClaimed events notify
applications. When modules are not loaded, behavior is unchanged.

DeveloperNote: New public APIs in stasis_app_broadcast.h:
stasis_app_broadcast_channel(), stasis_app_claim_channel(),
stasis_app_broadcast_winner(), and stasis_app_broadcast_wait(). New ARI event
types (CallBroadcast, CallClaimed) added to events.json. All code is isolated;
no existing ABI modified.
