Re: [webrtc-pc] Why clear [[LastCreatedOffer]] and [[LastCreatedAnswer]] when going to "stable"? (#2869)

A use case for this may be to attempt to reconnect after a temporary network drop when signaling is unavailable (from [this stackoverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76210224/can-i-reuse-the-offer-of-webrtc-once-connection-got-disconnected)).

It should be noted this simple [workaround](https://jsfiddle.net/jib1/1foL6p9r/32/) works in Firefox as well:
```js
    const offer = await pc1.createOffer();
    await pc1.setLocalDescription(offer)
    await pc2.setRemoteDescription(offer);
    const answer = await pc2.createAnswer();
    await pc2.setLocalDescription(answer);
    await pc1.setRemoteDescription(answer);
    await pc1.setLocalDescription(); // regenerates [[LastCreatedOffer]]
    await pc2.setRemoteDescription(offer);
    await pc2.setLocalDescription(); // regenerates [[LastCreatedAnswer]]
    await pc1.setRemoteDescription(answer);
```
...though if transceivers have been modified then the new offer may not fit the old answer and fail to renegotiate.
