#106 DISPATCH : weighted dispatching

[Emmanuel BUU]

The proposed patch enhances the DISPATCH modules. It enables the specification of weight for each destination.

For instance if destination.list contains

1 proxy1:5060 50
1 proxy2:5060 20
1 proxy3;5060 30

50% of calls will be dispatched to proxy1,
20% of calls will be disptached to proxy2
30% to proxy3

Ok I submitted a patch based on trunk version.

It compiles but it is not tested yet although it is based on the same algorithm than the previous one. I updated the DB schema as well.

Note: I discovered the existence of the CARRIERROUTE module that basically makes much more than this modified DISPATCH. THis is great.

Not being sure that this enhancement will preserve old behavior when having same weight for all destination, I postpone the integration for the next release, as carrierroute module satisfy the proposed enhancement.
