### Description
<!--
Explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened.
-->
I'd like to reduce the number of contacts per AOR for certain UAs, while maintaining a
default higher limit.
```
modparam("registrar", "max_contacts", 10)
modparam("registrar", "xavp_cfg", "reg")
route[REGISTRAR] {
if($ua=~"^Yealink") {
$xavp(reg=>max_contacts)=1;
}
if(!save("location")) {
sl_reply_error();
}
exit;
}
```
### Expected behavior
https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/stable/modules/registrar#registrar.p.…
states:
* max_contacts - the number of maximum contacts to be stored for the current registration
AoR. It **overwrites** the 'max_contacts' module parameter value.
I expect that the UA will register with the new contact and have all others removed.
#### Actual observed behavior
`$xavp(reg=>max_contacts)` set to a value lower than the `max_contacts` modparam does
not achieve the **overwrites** expectation from the documentation.
#### Log Messages
<!--
Check the syslog file and if there are relevant log messages printed by Kamailio, add them
next, or attach to issue, or provide a link to download them (e.g., to a pastebin site).

The module behaves in another way, i think. The max_contacts parameter will disallow new
registration and also update of existing registrations. But it will not remove old
existing registrations by itself. The docs can be always extended to make it more clear,
otherwise this is probably a feature request.

@henningw sorry I though I hit the feature request button when creating this.

@amessina No, actually i did a mistake in my reply, you filed it all right as feature
request.

Because the registration process in sip is periodical, but each endpoint can select its
expires interval, the oldest contact may hit a valid record, for example the case of a
user with a fixed end point registering every 3600 seconds and another mobile one that
registers every 5 min, but because of losing the wireless connectivity it keeps adding new
contacts. That was the discussion where the limit of registration was decided to be done
by rejecting new registrations.
Now, if you want to remove certain contacts, the oldest, older or newer, it is possible to
do in config right now with reg_fetch_contacts(), then loop through contacts to decide
which should be removed and do unregister() using the ruid field.
Note also that there is a flag for save() to store a single contact per user, removing the
existing one -- maybe that can fit in some scenarios
Anyhow, if someone wants to make this option in the code controlled via modparam or
function params, I am fine with it.
Given that it is already possible via config operations, this feature-request should be
closed unless a developer engages in adding it and wants to track the evolution here.
Otherwise, a PR with implementation in the C code for a simpler config can be just
submitted at any time, no need to have the FR open.

Thank you @miconda. Based on your description, I was misunderstanding the documentation
about the usage for this $xavp. I understood the documentation to mean that
`$xavp(reg=>max_contacts)=1` would function effectively like
`save("location", "0x04")`.
