Summary
-------

By defining INITIAL_CSEQ to values near the maximum, it can clearly be seen that asterisk will represent the cseqno as negative numbers as %d is used in most places.

//#define INITIAL_CSEQ              101    /*!< Our initial sip sequence number */
#define INITIAL_CSEQ              2147483640 /*!< Our initial sip sequence number */
#define INITIAL_CSEQ              4294967290UL   /*!< Our initial sip sequence number */ 

Examples below after a few messages with INITIAL_CSEQ set to 214783640

Testing
-------

Noted that Notify for BLF and MWI, that the CSeq numbers now wrapped around to 0.

After using the 2nd maximum of 2^32 minus a few (#define INITIAL_CSEQ              4294967290UL) phones, BLF and MWI still workign as normal.

Previously the BLF would stop functioning after the minus values were reached.
Now it wraps around from 4294967295 to 0, as below.
