Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the multiaddr protocol and multicodec repositories, then resolve whether DTLS needs an optional value such as a certificate fingerprint and where the protocol should be added; done means the design questions are settled and the appropriate repository changes are scoped.

Description
We're considering building DTLS transports in libp2p/libp2p#49. Therefore, I suggest to add a 'dtls' multiaddr protocol. I'd like to have some input on the following:
- We don't really need a 'value' part of the multiaddr to establish a connection. However, we could add a certificate fingerprint as a form of authentication. Is this a good use of the 'value'? Can this be made optional?
- Should I open a PR on this, the multicodec or both repo's?
