Currently CreatePeerConnection takes 3 parameters. This is going to expand to four with a new change. Every time a new parameter is added, we need to deprecate the old method, switch clients to the new one, update fake/mock classes and tests, and so on, which is a cumbersome process.
To address this, this CL introduces a PeerConnectionDependencies structure to encapsulate all mandatory and optional dependencies (where a dependency is defined as non trivial
executable code that an API user may want to provide to the native API). This allows adding a new injectable dependency by simply adding a new field to the struct, avoiding the hassle described above.
You may think we could use RTCConfiguration for this. But since RTCConfiguration is both passed in and out of the PeerConnection (using GetConfiguration/SetConfiguration), it can't carry unique_ptrs. And we don't want to inject dependencies via raw pointers, since this could lead to lifetime management bugs, where the dependency is deleted before the PeerConnection is done using it.
