main/cdr: Allow setting properties on a finalized CDR if it is the last one

Prior to this patch, we explicitly disallowed setting any properties on a
finalized CDR. This seemed like a good idea at the time; in practice, it was
more restrictive.

There are weird and strange scenarios where setting a property on a finalized
CDR is definitely wrong. For example, we may Fork a CDR, finalizing the
previous one, then change a property. In said case, the old CDR is supposed
to now be 'immutable' (so to speak), and should not be updated. From the
perspective of the code, a forked CDR that is finalized is just finalized.
Hence why we decided these should not be updated.

In practice, it is much more common to want to set a property on a CDR in
the h extension or in a hangup handler. Disallowing a common scenario to make
an esoteric behaviour work isn't good. This patch fixes this by allowing
callers to set a property IF we are the last CDR in the chain. This preserves
the finalized CDR if it was forked, while allowing the more common case to
function.
