[sr-dev] module FAQ, private contact replacement

Hello,

I would not involve management address in the readme of the modules, a
lot of people consider their use of kamailio private and will "abuse" it
for support.

Using sr-users there was a temporary hack when forking from ser and not
having seradmin anymore, which, obviously, got forgotten. But the age of
this (likely more than 10 years) shows it is not necessary at all, so my
suggestion is to remove it all together.

People have figured out what to do when needing to send something more
sensitive, there is a contact page on webite. Anyhow, based on your
commit on this matter, there are rather few modules with this remark
comparing with over all number of module.

Cheers,
Daniel
