Summary:                    Asterisk gives up on registration after receiving
408 Timeout response once
Description: 
I have noticed the following behavior:
- Asterisk registers fine to SIP provider for days
- SIP provider sends one 408 response due to some temporary issue on their
network
- Asterisk never attempts to register again, until it is restarted,
resulting in loss of inbound service

Ideally, a 408 should never happen.  However, there are hundreds of
possible reasons a provider may send a 408 for a few seconds (systems are
failing over to backups, database is unavailable due to backup, whatever). 
Asterisk should just reschedule registration as it does with all other 4xx
errors.
