[libnice] Ice-tcp in libnice

[Youness Alaoui]

1 - Make sure you set the ice-udp to false before gathering candidates.
Then there is no way for it to be using pseudotcp. Don't forget that TCP
connectivity has a much lower success rate than if you use UDP. We also
don't yet support TCP-SO candidate types which would increase the success
rate.
2 - No, it should just work, if you don't use a reliable agent, then even
over TCP, packets may be dropped, if you use a reliable agent, then the
whole reliable-transport-writable signal and return value of
nice_agent_send need to be taken into account, both udp and tcp are enabled
by default, you can disable them by setting ice-udp or ice-tcp properties
to false.
