Concur with EKR.

This field (the TCP/UDP part of the protocol field) was defined in a way
that makes its original purpose (to negotiate profiles) not only
impossible while using ICE, but actively harmful, because you end up
telling lies in very many cases, so people will have to accept things
that don't match reality.

Make the world as simple for implementors as possible: Send a fixed
string, and accept all strings.
