Several telcos bring the BRI PTMP layer 1 down when the line is idle.
When layer 1 goes down, Asterisk cannot make outgoing calls. Incoming
calls could fail as well because the alarm processing is handled by a
different code path than the Q.931 messages.
* Add the layer1_presence configuration option to ignore layer 1 alarms
when the telco brings layer 1 down. This option can be configured by span
while the similar DAHDI driver teignorered=1 option is system wide. This
option unlike layer2_persistence does not require libpri v1.4.13 or newer.
