Summary:                    [patch] add option to configure the SIP type in
users.conf
Description: 
Currently, users provisioned in users.conf are added to chan_sip as
"friend". The attached patch allows to specify the the type in users.conf
using the directive siptype=...

Thus it does not influence with other channel types (in chan_h323 and
chan_iax)

Nevertheless I think this is a useful addition, for example the simple
scenario:


users.conf:
user1: +43111111
user2: +43222222

user 1 calls a mobile phone. The mobile phone forwards to user 2.


user1  user2    Asterisk         GW
  -------INVITE----->
   Asterisk challenges
   the SIP friend
                    ----INVITE--->
                                    ISDN......forwarding to +4322222

                    <----INVITE---
                     This INVITE has a From: +431111111
                     although the GW is defined as peer, Asterisk
                     challenges the GW because it thinks
                     that the call is coming from user1 as the 
                     "user" of user1 is stronger than the "peer" of the
gateway.

Thus, defining the users only as "peer" instead of "friend" is really
useful (problem exists in 1.4, not sure about trunk)
