Add a Self-Provisioning Universal Line Template
-----------------------------------------------

The Universal Line Template (ULT) is used before self-provisioning
actually takes place. ULTs are used to create directory numbers on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. A directory number is identified by a
pattern (the number portion) and a route partition. A directory number
also has various settings that can be configured for the line. When a
directory number is created using a ULT, the ULT determines the route
partition and the line settings.
