[arm-allstar] Blacklist

[Patrick Perdue]

allstar-public is an entirely different context, requiring no node number.

In order to use a whitelist/blacklist for WT connections, such as 
Repeaterphone and DVSwitch Mobile, some additional steps need to be 
taken, which, as far as I know, have never been documented anywhere.

Give me some time, and I'll come up with a writeup on this unless 
someone beats me to it.

Meanwhile, if you want to block all WT connections, you can just comment 
or delete the entire allstar-public context in iax.conf, or put some 
custom stuff in the dialplan for iax-public in extensions.conf. Just 
disabling Web Transceiver connections in the Allstarlink portal isn't 
good enough. This will stop DVSM from allowing WT connections to your 
node, as it honors the switch, but Repeaterphone doesn't. Your Asterisk 
system will still accept unauthenticated calls on this context either 
way, unless you disable the context entirely, or direct it to hang up, 
or something like that.
