engine/sdp: CODECS override for the codecs we offer and accept

KPN's interconnect gateway transcodes every caller up: a G.711-only
fixed-line INVITE reached the phone offering PCMA, PCMU, AMR and AMR-WB
(bench call 2026-09-08), so the AMR-WB-only build rang and the narrowband
path — the one the Telia field report hit with 488 — cannot be reached on
the air through KPN by any caller.

CODECS=<list> (comma-separated over AMR-WB, AMR/AMR-NB, PCMA, PCMU) makes
the list both the codecs offered on an outgoing call and the acceptance
preference for an inbound offer, in that order: CODECS=PCMA takes G.711
A-law out of the mixed offer above, CODECS=PCMA,PCMU sends a G.711-only
offer toward the network. Unset, nothing changes — the default offer
bytes and the AMR-WB > AMR > PCMA > PCMU preference stay pinned. The
daemon logs an active override at startup.
