[webrtc-stats] Add clarification that inbound-rtp.bytesReceived includes retransmissions. (#755)

henbos has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-stats:

== Add clarification that inbound-rtp.bytesReceived includes retransmissions. ==
For bytesSent we say:

> Total number of bytes sent for this [SSRC](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-stats/#dfn-ssrc). This includes retransmissions. Calculated as defined in [[RFC3550](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-stats/#bib-rfc3550)] section 6.4.1.

For bytesReceived we say:

> Total number of bytes received for this [SSRC](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-stats/#dfn-ssrc). Calculated as defined in [[RFC3550](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-stats/#bib-rfc3550)] section 6.4.1.

They both seemingly refer to the same thing, and having symmetry here is good (bytesSent should be roughly equal to bytesReceived). And yes, we should include retransmissions because header bytes + bytes should equal to the total bitrate of that SSRC.

So it seems like a small discrepancy that we forgot to say "This includes retransmissions" for the bytesReceived case as well. Right? @alvestrand @vr000m @fippo
