[VoiceOps] Call Overflow Handling

[Carlos Alvarez]

We do this by default for our customers with SIP trunking.  Just play it as
early media and then send a busy.  We have a monthly minimum spend of $200
per customer so it's not a big deal to do something for each one, we
probably wouldn't do it for $50 customers.
