[atlas] REST API Problems for DNS measurements with DO and TCP

Hi Daniel!

Thanks for the fast response. The usage of 'do' works now fine and the 
description is consistent with the usage. However there are still 
problems with 'protocol'/'use_tcp'.

According to the API description, the property to use is 'use_tcp'. And 
using this property works when creating measurements. E.g.

               "use_tcp": "true",
               "protocol": "UDP",

will use TCP for querying.

But when reviewing the measurement, the property is called 'protocol', 
e.g. see https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/1028085/

<object>
   <status type="hash">
     <id type="integer">1</id>
     <name>Scheduled</name>
   </status>
   <protocol>TCP</protocol>
   ...

IMO, this should be consistent too.

Thanks
Klaus
