Summary: [pua_usrloc] Don't create new PUBLISH if an old one exists

Initial Comment:
pua_usrloc has an issue with SIP devices that publish their state, since the PUBLISH is generated twice:

1) By the REGISTER by pua_usrloc module.
2) By the PUBLISH sent by the device.

If for example the user sets "Online" - "Away" status and after a while the device refreshes the REGISTER, then its state will just be "Online" (the state pua_usrloc generates). And there will be two presence entries in "presentity" table.

I suggest pua_usrloc to generate a PUBLISH that corresponds to current published status of the device, by looking for an entry in the "presentity" table. If it exists then pua_usrloc could replicate the existing PUBLISH, or maybe it could just update "
expires" and "received_time" fields.

An issue could appear when a presence supporting device starts:
- It generates a REGISTER and because there wasn't a "presentity" entry pua_usrloc will generate a PUBLISH.
- After some seconds device will send a PUBLISH so there will be two entries in "presentity".
- What about then in the next REGISTER? How will know pua_usrloc which entry must replicate?
Maybe pua_usrloc could include a tag in its PUBLISH and detect its own PUBLISH'es from device PUBLISH's.

Is it feasible? If there other way to avoid generating PUBLISH for devices supporting presence?

Regards.

In our production setup we search the User Agent field to determine if the
UA is known too support Publish.
