[webrtc-pc] disallow pairing ice-tcp candidates with local ip addresses (#2465)

fippo has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc:

== disallow pairing ice-tcp candidates with local ip addresses ==
After reading [the post about using onicecandidateerror for portscanning](https://medium.com/tenable-techblog/using-webrtc-ice-servers-for-port-scanning-in-chrome-ce17b19dd474) (see also #2426) I wondered if ICE-TCP can be used to detect whether a TCP port is open as well.
It is possible (in Chrome) even if the remote port never responds to any stun requests.

With @alvestrand's help I've just landed a change in chrome/webrtc.org that disallows pairing with an ICE-TCP candidate that has a local IP address:
  https://webrtc.googlesource.com/src.git/+/712ebbb5b73baf30f11711efdceb6f08248fac38
It seems unlikely that ICE-TCP is used often on the local network (which would imply UDP is blocked) but if you know cases where this would now be broken please holler.

We'll also need some text in the security considerations.
