[libnice] Force an external address (srflx) candidate?

[Juan Navarro]

Thanks for your comments; however I believe this would indeed fall into
the category of feature request, because after looking at all the docs
and even checking a bit of the code, it's not apparent to me that this
possibility is offered.

Yeah we also build our own binaries, to stay on top of latest fixes, to
generate GStreamer bindings for our fork of GStreamer, but also to add
the "G_DISABLE_ASSERT" flag, which disables assertions in runtime
(otherwise when libnice find a bug and goes to a wrong state, it will
make the whole process crash; I get it's a good method for testing and
finding bugs, but not for production where a crash is the last thing you
want to happen)
