Re: Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish webrtc-stats as updated Candidate Recommendation

When we (the chairs) discussed issuing a renewed CR, it was explicitly
clear that this is not stable enough for PR yet.
We'll likely be issuing another CR before asking for PR.

When we discussed the per-layer stats, I felt that there was value in
having the (current) aggregated stats, and augumenting them with
per-outbound-rtp stats; the exception is those that are really
meaningless to aggregate, such as framerate and width/height; those
either need to be deprecated (moved to the obsolete section) at the
per-sender level or need to be declared as "identical to the highest
level sent".
