[Serusers] usrloc and replication

[Jan Janak]

There was another SER module written by Nils Ohlmeier that replicated the
user location contacts to a set of servers and kept the replication
state in usrloc. SER itself does not use the replication flag and, as
Marian said, you probably set the replicate flag to non-zero value which
is not correct.

Since you do not have the replication module, there is nothing that
would reset the flag and the contact stays in the user location database
forever.

The replication code was quite complex and it has been abandoned some
time ago. I plan to remove the zombie states and all related code to
make the usr location simpler.
