codec_builtin.c: G729 audio gets corrupted by Asterisk due to smoother

If Asterisk gets G.729 6-byte VAD frames inbound, then at outbound Asterisk sends this G.729 stream with non-continuous timestamps.
This makes the audio stream not-playable at the receiver side.
Linphone isn't able to play such an audio - lots of disruptions are heard.
Also I had complains of bad audio from users which use other types of phones.

After debugging, I found this is a regression connected with RTP Smoother (main/smoother.c).

Smoother has a special code to handle G.729 VAD frames (search for AST_SMOOTHER_FLAG_G729 in smoother.c).

However, this flag is never set in Asterisk-12 and newer.
Previously it has been set (see Asterisk-11).
