Add and extend the see-also sections to the documentation for applications
and functions in an effort to expand the online documentation of the wiki.
Also check for and update any links to moved documentation in the doc folder.

From Reviewboard:
CCSS stands for Call Completion Supplementary Services. An admittedly out-of-date
overview of the architecture can be found in the file doc/CCSS_architecture.pdf
in the CCSS branch. Off the top of my head, the big differences between what is
implemented and what is in the document are as follows:
1. We did not end up modifying the Hangup application at all.
2. The document states that a single call completion monitor may be used across
multiple calls to the same device. This proved to not be such a good idea
when implementing protocol-specific monitors, and so we ended up using one
monitor per-device per-call.
3. There are some configuration options which were conceived after the document
was written. These are documented in the ccss.conf.sample that is on this
review request.
For some basic understanding of terminology used throughout this code, see the
ccss.tex document that is on this review.
This implements CCBS and CCNR in several flavors.
First up is a "generic" implementation, which can work over any channel technology
provided that the channel technology can accurately report device state. Call
completion is requested using the dialplan application CallCompletionRequest and can
be canceled using CallCompletionCancel. Device state subscriptions are used in order
to monitor the state of called parties.
Next, there is a SIP-specific implementation of call completion. This method uses the
methods outlined in draft-ietf-bliss-call-completion-06 to implement call completion
using SIP signaling. There are a few things to note here:
* The agent/monitor terminology used throughout Asterisk sometimes is the reverse of
what is defined in the referenced draft.
* Implementation of the draft required support for SIP PUBLISH. I attempted to write
this in a generic-enough fashion such that if someone were to want to write PUBLISH
support for other event packages, such as dialog-state or presence, most of the effort
would be in writing callbacks specific to the event package.
* A subportion of supporting PUBLISH reception was that we had to implement a PIDF
parser. The PIDF support added is a bit minimal. I first wrote a validation
routine to ensure that the PIDF document is formatted properly. The rest of the
PIDF reading is done in-line in the call-completion-specific PUBLISH-handling
code. In other words, while there is PIDF support here, it is not in any state
where it could easily be applied to other event packages as is.
Finally, there are a variety of ISDN-related call completion protocols supported. These
were written by Richard Mudgett, and as such I can't really say much about their
implementation. There are notes in the CHANGES file that indicate the ISDN protocols
over which call completion is supported.
