chan_sip: Clarify 'Forcerport' Setting Displayed When Running "sip show peers"
While looking at ASTERISK-22236, Walter Doekes pointed out that when running "sip show peers", the setting being displayed can be confusing. The display of "N" used to mean NAT (i.e. yes). The NAT setting has gone through many different changes resulting in the display of different characters to try and convey what the current setting is for 'Forcerport' (A for Auto and Forcerport is currently on, a for Auto but Forcerport is off, Y for yes, and N for no). During the initial code review to try and clarify these settings (especially since "N" no longer meant what it used to mean in prior versions of Asterisk), Mark Michelson suggested using the full space available to display the settings which helped to make the settings very clear. That was a great suggestion. Therefore, this patch does the following: * The column for 'Forcerport' now will show: Auto (Yes), Auto (No), Yes, or No. * A column for the 'Comedia' setting has been added. It too will display the setting in a non-cryptic way: Auto (Yes), Auto (No), Yes, or No. * UPGRADE.txt has been updated to document this change.

+chan_sip - Clarify The "sip show peers" Forcerport Column And Add Comedia
+ - Under the "Forcerport" column, the "N" used to mean NAT (i.e. Yes). With
+ the additon of auto_* NAT settings, the meaning changed and there was a
+ certain combination of letters added to indicate the current setting. The
+ combination of using "Y", "N", "A" or "a", can be confusing. Therefore, we
+ now display clearly what the current Forcerport setting is: "Yes", "No",
+ "Auto (Yes)", "Auto (No)".
+ - Since we are clarifying the Forcerport column, we have added a column to
+ display the Comedia setting since this is useful information as well. We
+ no longer have a simple "NAT" setting like other versions before 11.
