Description

The old wrtc module has been rebooted as @roamhq/wrtc. We should evaluate it's performance vs node-datachannel.

The @libp2p/webrtc should be updated to use @roamhq/wrtc - if a PR can be opened with all tests passing we can test the throughput using the perf tests in the libp2p/test-plans repo.

Research direction

Start in packages/transport-webrtc and review its current use of the wrtc module, along with the package tests. Update it to use @roamhq/wrtc, keep all tests passing, and use the libp2p/test-plans performance tests to compare throughput with node-datachannel.
