Backward compatability H245Tunneling V4 with V3,2,..

[Chris Wayman Purvis]

That's one way of doing it, but CallProceeding is not an end-to-end message,
so it's conceptually wrong.  How hard is it for your gatekeeper to translate
between tunnelling and non-tunnelling?  Another reasonable way of doing it
is always to respond that tunnelling IS possible, and do the translation in
the gatekeeper.
