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

[Brandon Svec]

Great idea to do it now for whomever would like to. It looks like this is
just an announcement with no details around implementation yet, but anyone
managing a PBX or voip resellers, etc. should be able to allow this quite
easily.

Presumably this will be handled at the LEC level and everyone else just
needs to let the digits out.

I know it is not unusual to have to forward 911 and 411. The former to make
sure calls get routes to the correct location and the latter to save money.
