[SR-Users] limiting concurrent calls with dialog module

[Alex Balashov]

Not only that, but the fix is not trivial.  Contrary to how it may appear to a non-developer, this problem cannot be solved by just making a little patch.

Stateless replies have that name for a reason; they lack state.  They don't trigger any TM callbacks that the dialog module can latch onto.  So, figuring out how to remove a dialog to which a stateless final failure reply has been sent is actually quite difficult, and requires significant architectural changes.
