[Spce-user] Drop Null User Agents

[Alex Lutay]

Hi Luis,

As I can see from the code, 'null' will not work, as the "item" is 
quoted in code (processed as string).

It could be a valid point to improve NGCP User Agent Filtering feature 
(a documentation link for the history):

Reported internally as TT#140550, will be improved one day, no ETA.

PRO/Carrier versions has a feature Header Manipulations

To add missing User Agent with some label to block it further.
Also it can fill empty field, etc.

The current workaround for you a simple patchtt for kamailio to handle 
missing/empty User Agent field in a code I mentioned above.

Thank you for improving NGCP!
