Adds a method for triggering an ICE restart which causes a WebRTC connection to try to reconnect. This feature is already available in Chrome by passing the {iceRestart:true} argument to createOffer(). restartIce() is a version of this method that works regardless of signalingState.

Motivation

This is part of "Perfect Negotiation", which makes signaling in WebRTC race-free and less error-prone. For more details, see https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xcvf0udNeSH7s1FOY7RRqr1dEFvokZjn-MZPjwy3iXQ/edit?usp=sharing.
