So I changed frame.c/chan_iax2.c to do it like that.  I move the
calling channel's current codec to the front of the codec prefs if it
is amongst the allowed codecs.

The result works just the way I want.

Does this need to be configurable?  If SIP does this by default then I
think IAX might as well do the same.

I'll tidy up, compare with the chan_sip logic to check its consistent
and post the patch on the tracker tomorrow.
