[Serusers] Max-Forwards missing in SER CANCEL during forking

[Jiri Kuthan]

Try to set parameter tm/reparse_invite to 1 -- I was not aware of the option
but the code seems to adopt more message pieces including MF than if the parameter
is set to 0.

BTW was this an esthetic thing or did actually the CANCEL result in a loop?
I could have imagined that the downstream hop absorbs the CANCEL at transaction
level and the CANCEL follows the INVITE path, therefore not looping unless INVITE
did too.
