[Users] ACK processing

Hi Michael,

that's ok. only two comments:
1) all ACKs are in-dialog: ACKs for negative replies are hop-by-hop and 
are the one absorbed by tm functions; the ACKs for 2xx replies are 
end-to-end and are Route driven.
2) since you may have hop-by-hop ACKs (no route) which doesn't match any 
transaction (broken or lost ACKs), if you want to deal with them 
separately, do like this:
   

if (loose_route()) { #end-2-end ACKs are forwarded here
    #do something 
    t_relay();
    exit;
}
if (is_method("ACK")) { #hop-by-hop ACKs are absorbed here
    t_newtran();
    # deal with broken / lost ACKs
    # .......
    exit;
}


regards,
bogdan
