*CLI ael debug macros

Enable AEL read debug

*CLI ael debug read

Enable AEL tokens debug

*CLI ael debug tokens

If things are going wrong in your dialplan, you can use the following facilities to debug your file:

1. The messages log in /var/log/asterisk. (from the checks done at load time). 2. the "show dialplan" command in asterisk 3. the standalone executable, "aelparse" built in the utils/ dir in the source.
