[Users] nat flag and branch routes

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

it works, but is not save since you can not be 100% that dst_uri 
presence is strictly related to NAT traversal. It's also used by RR 
module to force routing after loose_route; and by dispatcher for the 
same reasons.....


I see here two ways of approaching this issue:
    - to have per-branch flags also before transaction creation; will be 
a new param to append_branch (8 in total :-/), but this flags will not 
be accessible from script; only in branch route;
    - use something else than flags for NAT marking (something already 
present in all branch stages): nathelper, when builds the received URI 
(which will become dst_uri) will append a "nat=yes" parameter; this 
parameter will be easyly identify in branch route and NAT traversal may 
be activated....

any comments or new options are welcomed.......

regards,
bogdan
