#### Description

This commit is introducing JSON format for ACC events. 2 way to output the ACC events are proposed/implemented (syslog and mqueue)

The option to use db_flastore was considered and found less attractive, mainly because the DB abstraction layer is not making much sense, example reformatting the data many times ... and other outputs could benefit from JSON format.

1- syslog (directly from the module, because it may be valuable to run Kamailio using runit or in docker and not "daemionizing" it anymore while still using syslog for acc events)

2- mqueue this way you may be able to control the acc event from Kamailio routing script, and example is provided using the http_client module to publish to NSQD

This seemed to be the best approach to remain as compatible as possible with the ACC module and benefit from it, while introducing the JSON format.

Many parameters are reused like time_mode, log_extra, log_facility, it seemed like reusing was making sense, this may be questionable.

If jansson or mqueue is not available or loaded the module will still build and run disabling the extra features

---------------------------------------------------------- #### Usage example where we use mqueue and process acc events in other worker processes. example also inluded in the doc

``` # example using json_mqueue/http_client to publish to NSQD max_while_loops=100000 modparam("mqueue", "mqueue", "name=acc_events;size=100000") modparam("acc", "json_mqueue", "acc_events") modparam("acc", "json_flag", 2) modparam("acc", "log_extra", "caller_ip_port=$avp(caller_ip_port);") modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=nsqt;interval=1;mode=1;") modparam("rtimer", "exec", "timer=nsqt;route=RUN_CDR_PUBLISH") modparam("http_client", "keep_connections", 1) modparam("http_client", "httpcon", "nsqd=>http://localhost:4151/pub?topic=acc")

route[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH] { $var(count) = 0; while (mq_fetch("acc_events")) { $var(q_size) = mq_size("acc_events"); $var(count) = $var(count) + 1; xinfo("[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH][$var(q_size)][$var(count)][$mqk(acc_events)][$mqv(acc_events)]\n"); $var(res) = http_connect("nsqd", "", "application/json", $mqv(acc_events), "$var(nsq_res)"); if ($var(res) != "200") { mq_add("acc_events", "acc_key", "$mqv(acc_events)"); return; } } if ($var(count) > 0 ) { xinfo("[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH]done count[$var(count)]\n"); } } ```

#### Load testing Load tests where conducted with both json_syslog and json_mqueue/http to NSQD, latency was very stable it was high because the test server used was on West coast California >> New-Jersey >> California

All the ACC events where queued in NSQD and written to SYSLOG without introducing delay. ``` curl -v http://127.0.0.1:4151/stats
