A standalone API using the QUIC transport protocol to exchange arbitrary data with remote peers. This provides a generic multiple-way transport that doesn't use the full PeerConnection stack designed for media purposes. The base API is shared with WebTransport. The difference is the RTCQuicTransport is P2P and uses ICE. For discussion on the webtransport see: https://discourse.wicg.io/t/webtransport-proposal/3508 https://github.com/WICG/web-transport
