Summary:                    [patch] Add support for setting individual contexts
in users.conf
Description: 
Right now, as far as I know, the only way to configure a context for users
is to set "userscontext=mynewcontext" in the general section of
extensions.conf.

Due to a project I'm currently working on, a need has arised to separate
users
into multiple contexts. So I hacked together this patch that recognizes
the
"context=" configuration option in each user entry and, if present,
registers
the user into that context.

If the user doesn't have a context= option, the value of userscontext is
set.

I looked at the way this is currently implemented, and...ugh.  It's going
to make things quite difficult.

We don't want a context in users.conf to override userscontext because
people may be relying on that value - and changing it to that could be
disastrous.  At the same time, we do want to allow setting those contexts
on a per user basis.

I can't really think of any ways to do this properly.  The only thing I
can think of, would be adding a pbxcontext (and vmcontext, since voicemail
uses similar code) to users.conf, but that would be really ugly.
