[SR-Users] Branch variables in branch_failure_route

Hello,

there is no variable that is stored in the scope of the branch. What you
can use is a hash table and compose the key from callid and branch index
variables with expires that is same as transaction lifetime (max
retransmission timeout).

And indeed you need to 'touch' the r-uri in order to signal to kamailio
that you have a new destination and want to create a new branch. It may
work to just use append_branch(), otherwise reassigning $ru to itself
should do it.

Cheers,
Daniel
