Contact uses source port in initial registration

Description (last modified by bennylp)

Currently Contact header for initial registration will always use listening port. There is a report that this causes problem in incoming call, see the following scenario:

  1. Client A and server both use private IP, client sets allow_contact_rewrite==1 or 0.
  2. Initial registration succeeds with listening port in Contact, note that there is no Contact update even Via rport is different with Contact port (note that allow_contact_rewrite==1 won't trigger Contact update when both using private IP)
  3. Client B makes call to client A
  4. Server tries to connect to client A, i.e: to A Contact address, and it fails (as client is not ready for accepting TLS, e.g: no TLS cert is set), so call is not passed through to client A.

Setting allow_contact_rewrite==2 is reported to solve the problem, however for some reason, such Contact update mechanism may not be preferred/allowed on some system setup. So in this case, adding option setting for using source port in initial registration Contact is needed.

Note: for some platform, there may be problem in getting source port on async socket connect operation.

Implementation: new setting in account config:

    /**
     * Specify if source TCP port should be used as the initial Contact
     * address if TCP/TLS transport is used. Note that this feature will
     * be automatically turned off when nameserver is configured because
     * it may yield different destination address due to DNS SRV resolution.
     * Also some platforms are unable to report the local address of the
     * TCP socket when it is still connecting. In these cases, this
     * feature will also be turned off.
     *
     * Default: PJ_TRUE (yes).
