Add support for multi-stream VoIP, as per [MSC3077](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3077).

@ -171,18 +171,31 @@ In response to an incoming invite, a client may do one of several things:
##### Streams
Clients are expected to send one stream with one track of kind `audio` (creating a
voice call). They can optionally send a second track in the same stream of kind
`video` (creating a video call).
Clients implementing this specification use the first stream and will ignore
any streamless tracks. Note that in the JavaScript WebRTC API, this means
`addTrack()` must be passed two parameters: a track and a stream, not just a
track, and in a video call the stream must be the same for both audio and video
track.
A client may send other streams and tracks but the behaviour of the other party
with respect to presenting such streams and tracks is undefined.
Clients may send more than one stream in a VoIP call. The streams should be
differentiated by including metadata in the [`m.call.invite`](/client-server-api/#mcallinvite),
[`m.call.answer`](/client-server-api/#mcallanswer) and [`m.call.negotiate`](/client-server-api/#mcallnegotiate)
events, using the `sdp_stream_metadata` property.
`sdp_stream_metadata` maps from the `id` of a stream in the session description,
to metadata about that stream. Currently only one property is defined for the
metadata. This is `purpose`, which should be a string indicating the purpose of
the stream. The following `purpose`s are defined:
* `m.usermedia` - stream that contains the webcam and/or microphone tracks
* `m.screenshare` - stream with the screen-sharing tracks
If `sdp_stream_metadata` is present and an incoming stream is not listed in it,
the stream should be ignored. If a stream has a `purpose` of an unknown type, it
should also be ignored.
For backwards compatibility, if `sdp_stream_metadata` is not present in the
initial [`m.call.invite`](/client-server-api/#mcallinvite) or [`m.call.answer`](/client-server-api/#mcallanswer)
event sent by the other party, the client should assume that this property is
not supported by the other party. It means that multiple streams cannot be
differentiated: the client should only use the first incoming stream and
shouldn't send more than one stream.
Clients implementing this specification should ignore any streamless tracks.
##### Invitees
The `invitee` field should be added whenever the call is intended for one
