[libnice] libnice not negotiating well with itself

[Olivier Crête]

Hi,
There shouldn't be a problem updating it from under the application,
we're careful not to break ABI. That said, instead of replacing just
the file, it's probably a best idea to just steal the whole .deb from
the latest Ubuntu and re-build that against the older one if you want
to upgrade it.
Ubuntu 20.04 is going to have 0.1.16
