These changes are a contribution from Robert Boisvert and the Alpine Linux team to address an issue that was encountered while testing with valgrind. The reported problem was that of an 'uninitialized value', and Robert Boisvert's statement was that the changes came from 'upstream'... although clearly he was not referring to upstream spandsp proper. By 'upstream' he may simply have been reporting what was told to him by others, and 'upstream' may actually mean some other fork of spandsp somewhere. That said, the claim was that this change resolved the issue as reported by valgrind. I'm not sure why the code needed to be so refactored as it was in order to resolve an uninitialized value, and as many times as I've examined this I've never really understood the uninitialized value issue here. However, admittedly the changed code is easier to follow, and as at_cmd_plus_VSID() was the only function to utilize parse_string_out(), I ultimately felt good about adopting it.
