Unused library third_party/libsrtp

[Mike Gilbert]

I was attempting to add a "use_system_libsrtp" option for this
library, when I made an interesting discovery: it isn't actually used
anywhere in the project!

There are some dependency references in src/remoting/remoting.gyp, but
none of the source files actually call any srtp functions or make use
of srtp headers.

The only source code I found that actually uses srtp is under
third_party/libjingle. However, libjingle.gyp doesn't actually build
the source files that make use of srtp functions.

Would it be ok to remove the dependencies from remoting.gyp? I have
tried this locally and it doesn't seem to break anything.

Are there some future plans to make use of this library? If not, can
it be removed from src/DEPS?

Would someone like to be on the reviewers list for any patches?

We were planning to use this library for remoting, but never actually used it, and we will not need it anytime soon, so it's safe to remove it now. It might be needed in the future for RTC APIs, but it will be easy to put it back if necessary.

Cool. I uploaded a patch last night.
