Since the functions themselves don't change, can we still have
"nathelper.so" name treated like a "fake module" that will load the
actual new ones? We already had some problems with the xlog module
removed (config changes in a revision, not even minor, update) - maybe
this time it could be done in a nicer way this time :)

I'd like to propose that if there's a loadmodule request that matches
"^(.*)/nathelper.(.*)$" it should automagically:
1. WARN that it's deprecated and functions are in rtpproxy and nat_traversal.
2. try to load modules from $1/rtpproxy.$2 and $1/nat_traversal.$2 and
if both can be found - do not fail.

Same for 'mangler' and 'nat_traversal' itself. I'm pretty sure that
could solve some problems in the future (just recall the number of
people asking about xlog on irc and some of the posts on the mailing
list).
