Fabio Alessandrelli 7536d15fe3 [MP] Let MultiplayerAPI handle packet relaying and peer signaling.
MultiplayerPeer changes:

- Adds is_server_relay_supported virtual method

Informs the upper MultiplayerAPI layer if it can signal peers connected
to the server to other clients, and perform packet relaying among them.

- Adds get_packet_channel and get_packet_mode virtual methods

Allows the MultiplayerAPI to retrieve the channel and transfer modes to
use when relaying the last received packet.

SceneMultiplayerPeer changes:

- Implement peer signaling and packet relaying when the MultiplayerPeer
  advertise they are supported.

ENet, WebRTC, WebSocket changes:

- Removed custom code for relaying from WebSocket and ENet, and let it
  be handled by the upper layer.
- Update WebRTC to split create_client, create_server, and create_mesh,
  with the latter behaving like the old initialize with
  "server_compatibility = false", and the first two supporting the upper
  layer relaying protocol.

<brief_description>
A simple interface to create a peer-to-peer mesh network composed of [WebRTCPeerConnection] that is compatible with the [MultiplayerAPI].
</brief_description>
<description>
This class constructs a full mesh of [WebRTCPeerConnection] (one connection for each peer) that can be used as a [member MultiplayerAPI.multiplayer_peer].
You can add each [WebRTCPeerConnection] via [method add_peer] or remove them via [method remove_peer]. Peers must be added in [constant WebRTCPeerConnection.STATE_NEW] state to allow it to create the appropriate channels. This class will not create offers nor set descriptions, it will only poll them, and notify connections and disconnections.
[signal MultiplayerPeer.connection_succeeded] and [signal MultiplayerPeer.server_disconnected] will not be emitted unless the peer is created using [method create_client]. Beside that data transfer works like in a [MultiplayerPeer].
[b]Note:[/b] When exporting to Android, make sure to enable the [code]INTERNET[/code] permission in the Android export preset before exporting the project or using one-click deploy. Otherwise, network communication of any kind will be blocked by Android.

<method name="add_peer">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="peer" type="WebRTCPeerConnection" />
<param index="1" name="peer_id" type="int" />
<param index="2" name="unreliable_lifetime" type="int" default="1" />
<description>
Add a new peer to the mesh with the given [code]peer_id[/code]. The [WebRTCPeerConnection] must be in state [constant WebRTCPeerConnection.STATE_NEW].
Three channels will be created for reliable, unreliable, and ordered transport. The value of [code]unreliable_lifetime[/code] will be passed to the [code]maxPacketLifetime[/code] option when creating unreliable and ordered channels (see [method WebRTCPeerConnection.create_data_channel]).

<method name="close">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Close all the add peer connections and channels, freeing all resources.

<method name="create_client">

<param index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />

<description>
Initialize the multiplayer peer as a client with the given [code]peer_id[/code] (must be between 2 and 2147483647). In this mode, you should only call [method add_peer] once and with [code]peer_id[/code] of [code]1[/code]. This mode enables [method MultiplayerPeer.is_server_relay_supported], allowing the upper [MultiplayerAPI] layer to perform peer exchange and packet relaying.
You can optionally specify a [code]channels_config[/code] array of [enum MultiplayerPeer.TransferMode] which will be used to create extra channels (WebRTC only supports one transfer mode per channel).

<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />
<param index="1" name="channels_config" type="Array" default="[]" />
<description>
Initialize the multiplayer peer as a mesh (i.e. all peers connect to each other) with the given [code]peer_id[/code] (must be between 1 and 2147483647).
</description>
</method>
<method name="create_server">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="channels_config" type="Array" default="[]" />
<description>
Initialize the multiplayer peer as a server (with unique ID of [code]1[/code]). This mode enables [method MultiplayerPeer.is_server_relay_supported], allowing the upper [MultiplayerAPI] layer to perform peer exchange and packet relaying.
You can optionally specify a [code]channels_config[/code] array of [enum MultiplayerPeer.TransferMode] which will be used to create extra channels (WebRTC only supports one transfer mode per channel).

</method>
<method name="get_peer">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<param index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />
<description>
Returns a dictionary representation of the peer with given [code]peer_id[/code] with three keys. [code]connection[/code] containing the [WebRTCPeerConnection] to this peer, [code]channels[/code] an array of three [WebRTCDataChannel], and [code]connected[/code] a boolean representing if the peer connection is currently connected (all three channels are open).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_peers">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<description>
Returns a dictionary which keys are the peer ids and values the peer representation as in [method get_peer].
</description>
</method>
<method name="has_peer">
<return type="bool" />
<param index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if the given [code]peer_id[/code] is in the peers map (it might not be connected though).
</description>
</method>
<method name="remove_peer">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />
<description>
Remove the peer with given [code]peer_id[/code] from the mesh. If the peer was connected, and [signal MultiplayerPeer.peer_connected] was emitted for it, then [signal MultiplayerPeer.peer_disconnected] will be emitted.
