Re: [webrtc-stats] Somewhat confusing what "This metric ... is sent by receiver" means.

Hm. I don't like parentheses.... A FIR is observable at both ends of a
 track, but it's possible that some FIRs are lost in transit, so the 
counts may be different.

So we have:

- FIR at the track sender, which is observable by counting incoming 
FIR packets, represented in the RTCOutboundRTPStreamStats object with 
remote=false
- FIR at the track receiver, which is observable by counting outgoing 
FIR packets, represented in the RTCInboundRTPStreamStats object with 
remote=false

I don't think FIR count is reported using RTCP, so this stat won't be 
present if remote=true (although I'm sure @vr000m will correct me if 
I'm wrong).

The qpSum language actually had a different purpose, since you had to 
divide the sum by different numbers to get the average qp in the two 
cases, but yes, language like this ought to be a standard phrase.
