Bug 16188 - SMS via email not applicable in India due to telecom regulation

This patch is applicable only for Indian users of Koha

Scenario : Under Indian law, transactional bulk SMS sending requires
pre-registration and approval of message templates with the Telecom Regulatory
Authority of India (TRAI). Most Indian telcos do not offer this facility and
even if offered, use of the feature introduced by Bug #9021 may expose the user
to serious civil and criminal liability due to unsanctioned use. More details
over here - https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2016-April/045124.html.

This patch informs users setting up their SMSSendDriver to "Email" that this
feature won't work in India. And even if they do this, it reiterates this
again at Home › Administration › SMS cellular providers.

Test plan
=========

1/ Apply the patch
2/ Check if warning is displayed when setting up the SMSSendDriver syspref as
   as well when accessing 'SMS cellular providers' under 'Administration ->
   Additional parameters'
