Summary:                    [patch] SIP autocreate peers disappear on "sip
reload"
Description: 
Upon reloading chan_sip configuration, all autocreated peers disappear.
That's a big hassle if one runs an Asterisk server with 100s of autopeers
(AI guys in our case) with some statically configured trunks that need a
configuration change from time to time.

Quoting lmadsen on the dev list: “I'm not sure if this is a bug or a
feature :)  Sounds like we might need an autocreatepeercache=[yes|no]
option, in which case this would be a feature request.”

The attached patch adds the third choice to the sip.conf global
autocreatepeers= setting, "durable", to keep autopeers across config
reload. The behavior of "yes" and "no" did not change.

Attaching patch against the latest 1.8 trunk and another for those running
1.6, against 1.6.2.9 (we use the latter in production).

Documentation would be ideal. You should make sure you at least document
what the option you're adding is providing.

I'm not sure I like "durable". I think perhaps "persist" might be a better
name as we've used that word in a few other places.

Thanks for the patch!
