This only works if you have a call limit, but you can set it to 10 if you
want to. However, we will not force busy if we are still able to call
the phone.

Since I developed this part of chan_sip, I am interested in what it is
that does not work if you set the call limit to 10. I might be missing
something here that we need to fix. Maybe a force-busy-on-call-limit=1
setting that does not enforce the actual call limit that could be set to
a higher value.
