This is a series of changes necessary to prepare the implementation of remote control
feature:
- XEP-0166: add a `priority` attribute to `ApplicationData`: this is needed when several
applications are working in a same session, to know which one must be handled first.
Will be used to make Remote Control have precedence over Call content.
- XEP-0166: `_call_plugins` is now async and is not used with `DeferredList` anymore: the
benefit to have methods called in parallels is very low, and it cause a lot of trouble
as we can't predict order. Methods are now called sequentially so workflow can be
predicted.
- XEP-0167: fix `senders` XMPP attribute <=> SDP mapping
- XEP-0234: preflight acceptance key is now `pre-accepted` instead of `file-accepted`, so
the same key can be used with other jingle applications.
- XEP-0167, XEP-0343: move some method to XEP-0167
- XEP-0353: use new `priority` feature to call preflight methods of applications according
to it.
- frontend (webrtc): refactor the sources/sink handling with a more flexible mechanism
based on Pydantic models. It is now possible to have has many Data Channel as necessary,
to have them in addition to A/V streams, to specify manually GStreamer sources and
sinks, etc.
- frontend (webrtc): rework of the pipeline to reduce latency.
- frontend: new `portal_desktop` method. Screenshare portal handling has been moved there,
and RemoteDesktop portal has been added.
- frontend (webrtc): fix `extract_ufrag_pwd` method.

Implement XEP-0343: Signaling WebRTC Data Channels in Jingle. The current version of the
XEP (0.3.1) has no implementation and contains some flaws. After discussing this on xsf@,
Daniel (from Conversations) mentioned that they had a sprint with Larma (from Dino) to
work on another version and provided me with this link:
https://gist.github.com/iNPUTmice/6c56f3e948cca517c5fb129016d99e74 . I have used it for my
implementation.
This implementation reuses work done on Jingle A/V call (notably XEP-0176 and XEP-0167
plugins), with adaptations. When used, XEP-0234 will not handle the file itself as it
normally does. This is because WebRTC has several implementations (browser for web
interface, GStreamer for others), and file/data must be handled directly by the frontend.
This is particularly important for web frontends, as the file is not sent from the backend
but from the end-user's browser device.
Among the changes, there are:
- XEP-0343 implementation.
- `file_send` bridge method now use serialised dict as output.
- New `BaseTransportHandler.is_usable` method which get content data and returns a boolean
(default to `True`) to tell if this transport can actually be used in this context (when
we are initiator). Used in webRTC case to see if call data are available.
- Support of `application` media type, and everything necessary to handle data channels.
- Better confirmation message, with file name, size and description when available.
- When file is accepted in preflight, it is specified in following `action_new` signal for
actual file transfer. This way, frontend can avoid the display or 2 confirmation
messages.
- XEP-0166: when not specified, default `content` name is now its index number instead of
a UUID. This follows the behaviour of browsers.
- XEP-0353: better handling of events such as call taken by another device.
- various other updates.
rel 441
- use `9` as port placeholder
- add `a=ice-options:trickle` to indicate that ICE candidates may be sent after SDP
- moved senders mapping at media level
- fix `rtpmap` channel setting
- don't overwrite existing `fingerprint` data
rel 424
media content order is relevant when building Jingle contents/SDP notably for bundling.
This patch fixes the previous behaviour of always using the same order by keeping the
order of the data (i.e. order of original SDP offer). Previous behaviour could lead to
call failure.
rel 424
- add a `jingle_preflight_info` method in the Jingle Application model to handle this kind
of information
- XEP-0353 is calling `jingle_preflight_info` when a `ringing` message is received
- XEP-0167 use this information to send a `ringing` info to frontends
- XEP-0166: add `jingle_preflight` and `jingle_preflight_cancel` methods to prepare a
jingle session, principally used by XEP-0353 to create and cancel a session
- XEP-0167: preflight methods implementation, workflow split in more methods/signals to
handle UI and call events (e.g.: retract or reject a call)
- XEP-0234: implementation of preflight methods as they are now mandatory
- XEP-0353: handle various events using the new preflight methods
