Enable CSV field and computed variable substitution in recv timeout parameters

[Copilot]

This PR adds support for using CSV field variables (e.g., [field3]) and computed variables (e.g., [$tmresult]) in recv timeout parameters, resolving a long-standing limitation in SIPp's scenario handling.

Problem

Previously, timeout parameters in <recv> elements only accepted static integer values. Users could not use dynamic values from CSV files or computed variables, which severely limited the flexibility of test scenarios. For example, this would fail:

<recv request="BYE" timeout="[field3]" ontimeout="2" next="3">
</recv>

With the error: message timeout 'timeout' parameter, "[field3]" is not a valid integer!

Solution

The fix introduces runtime variable resolution for timeout parameters by:

1. Enhanced parsing: Modified scenario parsing to detect variables in timeout strings and store them for later resolution
2. Runtime resolution: Added resolveTimeoutValue() method that resolves CSV fields and computed variables at call execution time
3. Backward compatibility: Static integer timeouts continue to work exactly as before

Key Changes

• include/scenario.hpp: Added timeout_str field to store raw timeout strings containing variables
• src/scenario.cpp: Enhanced timeout parsing to handle variable detection and storage
• src/call.cpp: Implemented runtime variable resolution with proper CSV field and computed variable support
• regress/github-#0801/: Added comprehensive regression tests to prevent future regressions

Usage Examples

Now both of these scenarios work correctly:

<!-- CSV field variable -->
<recv request="BYE" timeout="[field3]" ontimeout="timeout_label">
</recv>

<!-- Computed variable -->
<nop>
  <action>
    <assignstr assign_to="timervalue" value="[field3]" />
    <todouble assign_to="tmresult" variable="timervalue" />
  </action>
</nop>
<recv request="BYE" timeout="[$tmresult]" ontimeout="timeout_label">
</recv>

Testing

• Added regression test suite covering both CSV field and computed variable scenarios
• Verified backward compatibility with existing static timeout configurations
• Tested with various timeout values and variable combinations

This enhancement enables more flexible and dynamic SIP testing scenarios while maintaining full compatibility with existing configurations.

Fixes #801.
