test(lab): add Asterisk lab — a fake PSTN for media validation

An Asterisk instance that answers calls, plays an IVR, holds with music and
connects a "human", so the gateway has something real to dial that is not the
PSTN: no charges, no strangers, no E911 exposure.

Asterisk rather than Kamailio because the unproven risks are media risks.
Kamailio is a proxy — it routes signalling and answers nothing, so it would
forward the INVITE and find nobody home. Asterisk is a B2BUA: it answers,
plays prompts and collects DTMF, which is the hold-slayer scenario itself.
Kamailio remains the better model for trunk registration/digest auth later.

No application changes are needed to use it. SIP_TRUNK_HOST is just an
address, so the production code path runs unmodified — there is no test-only
branch anywhere in the gateway. It also means safety is structural: while the
trunk points at the lab there is no route to the PSTN at all, an absence of
route rather than a policy that could be misconfigured.

Nine scenarios (1001-1008 plus an echo test) cover the baseline call, the
IVR/DTMF path, hold-then-human, long hold, busy, no-answer, remote hangup and
silence.

The image ships no sound files, so sounds/generate.py synthesises three
fixtures from fixed seeds — byte-identical on every run, which is what makes
a classifier regression distinguishable from noise. Verified against
AudioClassifier: music→MUSIC 0.85, speech→LIVE_HUMAN 0.75,
silence→SILENCE 1.00. The speech formants deliberately avoid the DTMF bands;
the first version landed on a valid pair and classified as a keypress.

Anonymous inbound calls are refused, and endpoint matching is by source
address — Asterisk's default matches the From-header domain, which Hold
Slayer populates from its SIP bind address (0.0.0.0 on a wildcard bind).

Generated audio and the rendered per-host configs are gitignored: the former
is reproducible from a fixed seed, the latter carry a host-specific IP and
the lab password.

Known limit, documented in the README: MediaPipeline.create_tap is a stub, so
the classifier receives no audio on a live call. RTP flows and Asterisk plays
audio, but the tap is never fed — the fixture results above were measured by
feeding the classifier directly. This blocks scenarios 1002/1003/1004.

# Local Asterisk lab — for iterating on caliban before promoting to Virgo.
#
# This is the LOCAL variant: ports and credentials are concrete, not Jinja.
# Ansible templates the same dialplan out to galatea with the estate's
# variables (see virgo/ansible/asterisk/).
#
# Run: docker compose -f docker-compose.lab.yml up -d
# CLI: docker compose -f docker-compose.lab.yml exec asterisk asterisk -rvvv
#
# host networking: SIP/RTP carry IP addresses *inside* the payload, so a
# bridged network needs external_media_address set correctly or the call
# connects with no audio. Host networking sidesteps that entirely for local
# work. The Virgo deploy uses the same approach for the same reason.
