Summary: Path support for save() and lookup()

Initial Comment:
Hello,

Attached you can find a Patch for Path support
according to RFC 3327 for usage in registrars and
home-proxies:

A call to save(...) stores, if path-support is enabled
in the registrar-module, the values of the Path
Header(s) along with the contact into usrloc. There are
three modes regarding the reply to a REGISTER including
one or more Path HFs:

- off: stores the value of the Path headers into usrloc
without passing it back to the UAC in the reply.
- lazy: stores the Path header and passes it back to
the UAC if Path-support is indicated by the "path"
param in the Supported HF.
- strict: rejects the registration with "420 Bad
Extension" if there's a Path header but no support for
it is indicated by the UAC. Otherwise it's stored and
passed back to the UAC.

A call to lookup(...) always uses the path header if
found, and inserts it as Route HF either in front of
the first Route HF, or after the last Via HF if no
Route is present. It also sets the destination uri to
the first Path uri, thus overwriting the received-uri,
because NAT has to be handled at the outbound-proxy of
the UAC (the first hop after client's NAT).

The whole process is transparent to the user, so no
config changes are required beside setting the
registrar-parameters "use_path" and "path_mode".

Another patch for handling Path at intermediate proxies
is in progress. This will also solve the NAT-issue by
handing over a received-param to a registrar in the
Path uri and by rewriting the dst-uri for subsequent
requests towards the UAC based on this param.
