SER does not derive the realm from the SIP message anymore. For every virtual
domain we have the realm configured in the database. SER determines the
virtual domain from the SIP message and then looks up the corresponding realm
string in the database, in domain_attrs table.

We have switched to this approach because it is much more flexible. We can
have a digest realm which is not the same as the domain name, we can share one
digest realm across multiple virtual domains, and so on.

The contents of the domain_attrs table is cased in domain module so there is
no performance penalty.
