Re: [webrtc-encoded-transform] Clarify why the writable stream backpressure should be disabled (#188)

This is the wrong direction to go in.
Depending on the UA knowing how the input of the transform connects to the output of the transform is the wrong model, and needs to be abandoned; for one thing, it does not permit one-ended use cases.

The right way of approaching this is to make the feedback channel explicit as outlined in https://github.com/alvestrand/hackathon-encoded-media

Backpressure is a safety feature that limits the amount of trouble a transform can cause; it is not a good feature, but it is a needed one until we have the explicit feedback channels ready.
