[Spce-user] SEMS adds `a=direction:both` to SDP replies

[Ben Kaufman]

I certainly can address this in Kamailio, but it forces tracking "was this added BY SEMS" vs just having it clean.  My want is really "don't touch any aspect of the SDP".  Is SEMS not capable of this?  If not, then yes, I'll fallback to doing it in Kamailio- I just want to be sure that there's no way to address the underlying reason for it.

I've set both of these:

enable_rtprelay=no
rtprelay_force_symmetric_rtp=no
