[libnice] Dropping old remote candidates without stream/agent restart

[Olivier Crête]

Hi,

This is exactly what ICE restart is for, if the remote candidates 
change, you also want to change the ufrag/pwd. Changing the ufrag/pwd 
is normally how you instruct the other side to do a restart.

The restart does NOT reset the local candidates, they will be exactly 
the same.
