// RTCErrorOr<T> is the union of an RTCError object and a T object. RTCErrorOr
// models the concept of an object that is either a usable value, or an error
// Status explaining why such a value is not present. To this end RTCErrorOr<T>
// does not allow its RTCErrorType value to be RTCErrorType::NONE. This is
// enforced by a debug check in most cases.
//
// The primary use-case for RTCErrorOr<T> is as the return value of a function
// which may fail. For example, CreateRtpSender will fail if the parameters
// could not be successfully applied at the media engine level, but if
// successful will return a unique_ptr to an RtpSender.
//
// Example client usage for a RTCErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<T>>:
//
//  RTCErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<Foo>> result = FooFactory::MakeNewFoo(arg);
//  if (result.ok()) {
//    std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo = result.ConsumeValue();
//    foo->DoSomethingCool();
//  } else {
//    LOG(LS_ERROR) << result.error();
//  }
//
// Example factory implementation returning RTCErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<T>>:
//
//  RTCErrorOr<std::unique_ptr<Foo>> FooFactory::MakeNewFoo(int arg) {
//    if (arg <= 0) {
//      return RTCError(RTCErrorType::INVALID_RANGE, "Arg must be positive");
//    } else {
//      return std::unique_ptr<Foo>(new Foo(arg));
//    }
