res_pjsip: Add disable_tcp_switch option.

When a packet exceeds the MTU, pjproject will switch from UDP to TCP.  In
some circumstances (on some networks), this can cause some issues with
messages not getting sent to the correct destination - and can also cause
connections to get dropped due to quirks in pjproject deciding to
terminate TCP connections with no messages.

While fixing the routing/messaging issues is important, having a
configuration option in Asterisk that tells pjproject to not switch over
to TCP would be useful.  That way, if some glitch is discovered on some
other network/site, we can at least disable the behavior until a fix is
put into place.

  * New 'moh_passthrough' endpoint setting. This will pass hold and unhold requests
    through using SIP re-invites with sendonly and sendrecv accordingly.
+ * Added the pjsip.conf system type disable_tcp_switch option.  The option
+   allows the user to disable switching from UDP to TCP transports described
+   by RFC 3261 section 18.1.1.
