Summary: New network-based algorithm in RateLimit

Initial Comment:
Bugfixed signed/unsigned byte sign in ipAddress happening when shifting and ANDing with 0xFF mask and reading IP addresses bytes greater than 127.

Added exported function "snmp_pending_bytes" from SNMPStats to be used with ratelimit module to drop incoming SIP message when rx_queue gets too high.

This algorithm relies on information provided by network interfaces. Indeed, it uses an exported function from SMTPStats module to work
(snmp_pending_bytes). The total amount of bytes waiting to be consumed on all the network interfaces is retrieved once every timer_interval seconds.
If the returned amount exceeds the limit specified in the modparam, OpenSIPS starts dropping SIP messages sending a 503 error (the default
value whose default message is "Service Unavailable").

Ratelimit ModParam sample :
/* -- ratelimit -- */
modparam("ratelimit", "timer_interval", 1)
modparam("ratelimit", "queue", "0:INVITE")
modparam("ratelimit", "pipe", "0:NETWORK:10000")
modparam("ratelimit", "load_source", "network")

where, in the pipe definition, 10000 is the max size of rx_queue (in bytes) before starting to answer "Service unavailable" and "network"
is a new source used to sample data from (in addition to "cpu" source).
