res_pjsip: Update authentication realm documentation.
Using the same auth section for inbound and outbound authentication is not
recommended. There is a difference in meaning for an empty realm setting
between inbound and outbound authentication uses.
An empty inbound auth realm represents the global section's default_realm
value when the authentication object is used to challenge an incoming
request. An empty outgoing auth realm is treated as a don't care wildcard
when the authentication object is used to respond to an incoming
authentication challenge.
