Description:There are times when a channel has to be owned by a third party and that third party does not want to put that channel back into another bridge or transfer it to a dialplan location. Examples include:

* The mythical usage of the infinite wait bridge in {{app_queue}}
* Stasis-HTTP need to be able to remove a channel from a bridge and own the channel

There are a few other problems here:

* If an external entity owns a channel, how do we prevent another third party from stealing it?
* What does it mean for an external entity to own a channel? Something has to continue to service the channel. Is that autoservice, or a 'quiet' infinite wait bridge?

This functionality will also be useful for protocol attended transfers (ASTERISK-21336) to an application so the channel can leave a bridge before being masqueraded to the application channel.
