[SR-Users] problem with core forward function

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

I expect is the old SER parameter format, where it actually requires 
host and port as different parameter:

forward("1.2.3.4", 5060);

The wiki content looks like documenting the openser style of parameter, 
but then we got the core from ser for v3.0 and perhaps nobody spotted 
the difference. There are some common cases, like just forrward() and 
you can set the $du to get it via an outbound proxy address.

Perhaps the functions should be moved to corex module and add support 
for all kind of combinations, including pv parameters.

Cheers,
Daniel
