[libnice] TURN/TLS support in libnice

[Olivier Crête]

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply.

My great master plan was to remove the libnice specific interface and
replace it with GLib's GDatagramBased + GIOStream.. and then I can just
use glib-networking's abstraction for TLS.. so I get support for both
OpenSSL and GnuTLS for free.

That said, I'd also accept patch that implement it with either of them
directly at this point.. Right now, we have support for OpenSSL, GnuTLS
and the native Windows API. This is also something my team could do if
you're looking to outsource.
