Re: [webrtc-pc] Add hardwareAccelerated field to RTCRtpCodecCapability (#2356)

> These are all very much issues we are trying to address; the privacy concerning aspects of this proposal should be written expecting those issues will be addressed. Simply moving this functionality to another spec does not address the problem

I think that what's exposed through MediaCapabilities API and WebGL is the biggest concern here, however they are outside of the WebRTC specification and cannot be expected to be solved within this forum.

Starting a stream just to determine if there's HW acceleration support for that particular codec is a bit far fetched, especially since the methods mentioned above are available.

I think that a good trade off right now is to keep the spec as is (unless there's a clear evidence that something is being misused) and be careful when adding new stuff.
