[webrtc-stats] Define a stat for which congestion control algorithm is used? (#819)

alvestrand has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-stats:

== Define a stat for which congestion control algorithm is used? ==
There is no API exposed for controlling which congestion control algorithm a given connection uses.
When evaluating new CC algorithms, it would be useful to gather statistics on which one is in use, in order to figure out whether a given application works best with one or the other. But there's no standard naming syntax for CC algorithms.

Suggestion: Add a DOMString field to RTCTransportStats called "congestionControlAlgorithm", and define it as an implementation-defined name for the congestion control algorithm currently in use.

This choice mirrors the designof the decoderImplementation field of RTCInboudRtpStreamStats.
