Summary:                    rtptimeout and rtpholdtimeout can only be set
globally for users
Description: 
rtptimeout and rtpholdtimeout can be set in the global SIP configuration,
in which case they are honoured for incoming calls matched against a user
entry.  They can also be specified for an individual device provided it is
configured as a peer or friend.  In the case of a friend, they are not
honoured when an incoming call is matched against the user part of the
configuration.

This seems inconsistent, especially as it is meaningful and useful to
apply such timeouts on calls that match as users.  In our case we want to
ensure that an AgentLogin type agent gets logged out if they lose their
connection, but we are wary of setting the timeouts globally, in case we
have a connection that does silence suppression and doesn’t use RTCP.

Note that sip.conf.sample doesn’t list these parameters as allowed for
users.  Nonetheless, I think that it would only make sense if were
allowed.
