Summary: LCR Gateway Priority

Initial Comment:
With the current LCR module (1.2.0) we have the ability to send prefixes to a certain group of gateways with the specified group id and priority field in the lcr table. 

I have the need to prioritize the gateways within a gateway group. Right now if you have 3 gateways in a group, your traffic will get sent to one of the gateways in a random fashion. I want to be able to choose which of the gateways out of the group gets used.  

Scenario as follows:  
My SIP peer has 3 gateways that that I can send traffic to.  However, they prefer that I send traffic to their primary gateway and only use the other two if the first one fails.

Seems like this can be accomplished by adding a priority field in the gateways table so we can choose which server within a group to send traffic to.

You can achieve that by using the priority field in the lcr table.

Put the primary gateway into the primary_group.
Put the other two gateways into the secondary_group.

In the lcr table add two entries for the same prefix/from_uri:
 - primary_group with priority 0
 - secondary_group with priority 1
