Re: [webrtc-pc] Remove paragraph about removeTrack causing track to be ended remotely.

(I deleted earlier comments where I was confused) Doing a sanity recap:

In my book we've got 3 fundamentally different versions of this API:
 1. streams (addStream/removeStream) (Chrome)
 2. tracks (addTrack/removeTrack) (Firefox)
 3. transceivers (addTransceiver/removeTransceiver) (Nobody)

A difference between `pc.removeTrack(sender); pc.addTrack(withTrack)` and `await sender.replaceTrack(withTrack)` is that the former renegotiates (assuming `pc.onnegotiationneeded` is set up properly) whereas the latter does not.

So, with `pc.removeTrack(sender); await wait(10000); pc.addTrack(withTrack)` I think the big difference is that for 10 seconds I'd expect there to be *no track*, not a black track, remotely.

Specifically, I'd expect a renegotiation to fire 'ended' on my old track, which would be removed from the peerconnection-managed stream, then 10 seconds later, another renegotiation would trigger a`track` event on my peer connection with my "new" track, now added to the peerconnection-managed stream.

This was certainly the expectation before transceivers.

Maybe `receiver.track` should be nullable after all?
