[OpenSIPS-Devel] Obsolete Modules

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, all!

The three modules have been moved to the modules_obsolete/ directory. 
I've written two tutorials that contains the steps to migrate from the 
old mi_xmlrpc to the new mi_xmlrpc_ng module[1] and from closeddial to 
the new dialplan module[2].
Also the documentation page[3] has been updated.
