Re: What is PeerConnection.connectionState when some IceTransports are new and some are connected?

Actually, I went to type A in the PR, and it was complicated.  Writing the
spec for B is much more simple.  Perhaps that's a sign that it's a better
idea than A (it's easier read and understand what it means).  So I change
my mind:  if we don't want a new state, let's go with B.

And that's what's in the PR now.
