Close transport if tls is requested over sctp
RFC 3588 requires that a Diameter server support TLS but in practise this seems to mean TLS over SCTP since there are limitations with running over SCTP: see RFC 6083 (DTLS over SCTP), which is a response to RFC 3436 (TLS over SCTP). The current RFC 3588 draft acknowledges this by equating the Inband-Security-Id value TLS with TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP but underlying support for DTLS is still thin on the ground.
