[Serusers] fr_inv_timer_avp on the fly....

[sip]

We use it to override the default timer value when we forward calls to other
systems, so as to give a longer timeout on a call forward (which means we
don't time out too early while negotiating the transfer). Our default is 27
seconds (roughly 5 US-style phone rings), but we bump it with the AVP to 45
when doing a forward.  Works like a charm. 

I'd LIKE, however, to be able to have it overridden on an individual user
basis for people who'd prefer it going to voicemail quicker... or slower. I'll
give Klaus' idea a go and let you know how it all works out.
