chan_rtp: Use μ-law by default instead of signed linear

Multicast/Unicast RTP do not use SDP so we need to use a format that
cleanly maps to one of the static RTP payload types. Without this
change, an Originate to a Multicast or Unicast channel without a format
specified would produce no audio on the receiving device.
