Fix contact sip address
This breaks the sending of contacts to other users via vcards. It also creates issues when trying to write a vcard that would contain linphone contact details for distribution. The previously used 'X-SIP' tag is the defacto field to which Android parses an IMPP field in vcard that contains a sip address that is not one of the default IM types - {AIM,MSN,GOOGLE-TALK,Skype...}. There is no way to specify an IMPP field with a custom defined protocol so that an Android device will recognize and parse it to the IM:custom:sip field.
What was the reasoning behind this change? Will this change be permanent?
