Summary: Substitutions in configuration file

Initial Comment:
This patch gives very useful feature - support to perform substitutions inside the strings of config.
Work derived from the great parser enhancements made by Daniel-Constantin Mierla to the sip-router project.

For example

!subst
perform substitutions inside the strings of config
!subst offers an easy way to search and replace inside strings before cfg parsing. E.g.,:
!subst "/regexp/subst/flags"
flags is optional and can be: 'i' - ignore case; 'g' - global replacement
Example:
!subst "/DBPASSWD/xyz/"
modparam("acc", "db_url", "mysql://user:DBPASSWD@localhost/db")
will do the substitution of db password in db_url parameter value

Message:
Hello,

We do not feel such a patch would be very useful.
You can always implement such functionality with a more advanced tool, like
m4, instead of implementing all of this subst logic into the OpenSIPS
parser.

Regards,
Vlad
