Re: [webrtc-extensions] Making use of 5G network slicing (#244)

Agreed that 5G slices can improve both latency and bandwidth.

FWIW, the potential use cases for an API I heard of:
- A web application that does not care about high performance (maybe only interested by peer-to-peer data channels) and might prefer the UA to optimise for power consumption for instance.
- A/B testing
If we expose something, it would only be a hint really.

Looking at how this could be done in WebTransport, if https://w3c.github.io/webtransport/#enumdef-webtransportcongestioncontrol is set to either `low-latency` or `throughput`, it would make sense for the UA to try to use 5G network slicing.
