[VoiceOps] Get ready for a weird dialplan change. 9-8-8 suicide hotline.

[Mark R Lindsey, ECG]

Fortunately, all we have to do is setup call forwarding for 988 calls to go
to +1-800-273-8255

If anyone here would like to help, they can send me the config steps
necessary to make this work on the platforms you manage. I’ll collect and
publish them (tentatively at http://988.support/ ).

For me, the health-and-safety element of voice telecom is a big part of the
reason it’s important. People depend on us — in a small way — for their
safety.
