[SFLphone] placeCall's callID

[Juan M. Sanchez]

Hi Emmanuel,

I'm doing these tests as part of a python CLI client to
integrate sflphoned and AwesomeWM.

This is the sequence of callID values that I tried:
    - An MD5 hash of the epoch + random value
    - the epoch
    - "123"
    - "10"
    - "1"

Only the "1" didn't cause sflphoned to crash.
I saw that the callID parameter accepts a string (correct me if I'm
wrong), and I supposed that the MD5 value would be fine.

Anyways, I'll revise the python code to see if I'm doing something wrong
when sending this parameter.

Thanks for your help.
