[SR-Users] set_advertised_address with variable

Hello,

yesterday afternoon I pushed an alternative for allowing setting the
address and port in local Via headers using XAVP, see:

  - https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/cookbooks/devel/core#xavp_via_fields

I didn't have the time to do any tests, but was in master before
freezing code for 5.2.x series, so it will be in the next major release.
Test and if there is any bug, report and it will be fixed.

I also looked at extending the set_advertised_address(), but it actually
uses pointers to some static values available at kamailio startup, so
making that dynamic would have been more complex to do in a short time.

Cheers,
Daniel
