Use port 5060 for NAT Auto-configure

Description

When the Asterisk SIP Settings module auto-configures a system, it hits our mirror site through an http request using the default port 80 to find the local server's perceived address. If a site is configured to route SIP traffic through a different WAN or a different external IP address, this will result in the WAN address for data and not VOIP traffic. Changing this to route traffic through port 5060 will help improve results for such situations.

The downside affect is that this could result in being blocked by some intelligent firewalls since it is not a proper SIP packet but if that is the case, it's likely there are other difficult issues to deal with on such firewalls and a more knowledgable tech will be needed anyhow for proper configuration.
