Re: [webrtc-tests] Adding a basic no-media call that uses promises. (#1824)

> The reason for passing the offer/answer SDP through a global variable is that the implementation is allowed to modify the descriptions based on candidate generation, and I did not want that side effect to randomize what happened during this test (although it SHOULD have no effect).

This concerns me. Are people expected to know this? If candidates are generated, what's wrong with including them in the SDP sent to the peer (other than perhaps a redundant onicecandidate)? Is an implementation allowed to modify the SDP in other ways? If so, shouldn't the spec give clearer guidance here? If half the people send the pre-setLocalDescription description and the other half send the post-setLocalDescription description then that seems like the worst possible situation.
