Fix issue 2459650.
This change fixes a problem where an unwanted tone is generated by audio policy manager when a MT call is answered.
This is because of a policy that replaces high visibility system sounds (ringtones, alarms...) by a beep when in call.
There is a transitory phase while the call is being answered where the phone state is changed to IN_CALL but the
ringtone is still playing. The audio policy manager then mutes the end of the ringtone and starts playing a beep
in replacement because the ringtone is categorized as high visibility.
The fix consists in changing the ringtone stream type from high visibility to low visibility. This is not a problem as
the only actual use case where a ringtone would be generated while in call is if another call is received.
But in this case, the phone system does not generate a ringtone but a call waiting tone instead.
It is therefore not required to handle a ringtone as a high visibiltiy tone that must be somehow signaled to the user
while in call.
