[libnice] nice_agent_recv example

[Philip Withnall]

Hi,

As Youness says, you have a couple of options:
 • Call nice_agent_recv() or nice_agent_recv_messages() in a loop in a
separate thread.
 • Use the NiceInputStream retrieved by nice_agent_get_io_stream(), and
call g_pollable_input_stream_create_source(), then attach the GSource
that returns to your GMainContext, just as nice_agent_attach_recv()
does.

This is because the NiceAgent needs to have started receiving packets
before it can discover the reflexive candidates, as Youness says.
