chan_iax2: Restore previous behavior of iax2_best_codec.

The iax2_best_codec function was changed to convert the formats
into a format compatibilities structure and grab the first
format from it. The resulting order differs from the previous
order of iax2_best_codec which causes unexpected formats to
get chosen (such as g723).

This commit brings back the old behavior of iax2_best_codec by
having a specified preference list.
