Description

Let's use Capability_WSTransport for the name.

Capabilities are defined in https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer/blob/249d9ebd80380dddd594e32bc9f44288d8b6fc33/core/capabilities.go

This property should initially always return "false".

Once @AlexKordic's work on websocket streaming is comeplete, we'll conditionally invoke it based on this property and cut a release with this capability always set to true.

Research direction

Start in core/capabilities.go and review how existing capabilities are defined. Add the Capability_WSTransport property with an initial value of false; done means the orchestrator exposes this named capability without enabling WebSocket streaming.
