Fixes #171.

This PR extends the RTCIceTransport interface by adding a new event handler attribute and a method which together allow an application to control the candidate pair used for sending and receiving data over a peer connection.

A new, cancelable event icecandidatepairnominate is proposed to allow an application to defer the nomination of a candidate pair by the ICE agent as the selected candidate pair for transport. This allows the selected candidate pair to be changed without an ICE restart.

A new method setSelectedCandidatePair is proposed to allow an application to set any valid candidate pair as the selected candidate pair from which to send data.


Preview | Diff

If nomination is being deferred, either side is allowed to send
on a pair of their choosing. Only nomination is the exclusive
prerogative the controlling agent.
