[Serusers] NOTIFY header construction for mid-dialog presence event package

Hi Samuel,
Maxim Sobolev was fighting with NAT and presence some time ago.

I was trying to allow calling script route block when sending NOTIFY to
allow its modifications, but I had not enough time to get results.

The NOTIFY should be constructed according RFC 3261; the request URI
should be the value from Contact of the SUBSCRIBE request (if only loose
routers in routes appear). 

To, From, Via and routes should follow RFC 3261 too.

Contact header value is the address at which the SUBSCRIBE request
arrives to the server (according examples in RFC 3856, this is
controversial but possible).

Modifying of async_auth_queries should have no influence on sent
NOTIFYs. If does, it is probably a bug.

All headers you mentioned are derived from dialog initiating SUBSCRIBE
request as RFC says.
