[VoIP] extensions.conf unhandled extensions

[Jack Ryan]

Mad Mark,

As Mark suggests, just add a catch all extension.

exten => _X., 1, Answer()

etc

The X matches any single digit then the '.' matches anything else. Don't use
_. unless you have nothing else to do.

Fortunately anything more specific is matched first leaving this as the
catch all.
