Summary:                    [patch] Auto detect NAT if the same device can be
used in several natted/unnated scenarios
Description: 
I have some devices in the following scenario:

- Asterisk server with public IP address

Mobile devices (clients):

- When in internal network, no NAT between the client and the server
- When in "roaming" (i.e. a Hotel with WiFi), the client is behing a NAT
- When in 3G, operator transparent sip proxy so it looks as no NAT, but
does not support symmetric RTP.
- Sometime, the device gets a public IP with no NAT at all.

No NAT setting available in asterisk works for all these scenarios at the
same time, and I can not request the user to activate different accounts
depending on its location.

I have added a new NAT setting (nat=auto) to the current ones. When set,
chan_sip auto detects from the Via header, the recv sockaddr, and the rport
setting if the client is behind a NAT.

It also adds to cli interface results (sip show peer/s) info on this (so
now you could see "N" for NAT and nothing for no NAT as before, "a" for
auto detect no NAT, and "A" for autodetect NAT.

I include the two patches involved, one to sip.h to add the flag to
"SIP_PAGE3", and the patch itself to chan_sip.c

They apply cleanly on 1.8.4 and work with TCP and UDP, but also on 1.8.3.2
with TCP, UDP and TLS (from 1.8.3.3 there is a reported bug in TLS that has
nothing to do with this patch but that prevents me from using TLS)

Yes, this sounds really great for softphones on a 3g device -- would like
to test the patch as well !!
