webrtc: add advanced audio settings

autoGainControl, echoCancellation, and noiseSuppression are audio
processing options that are usually enabled by default on WebRTC input
tracks.

This commit adds the possibility to enable/disable them, as they can be
undesirable in some cases (audiophile use cases). For example, one might
want to stream electronic dance music, which is basically noise, so it
should not be suppressed in that specific case.

Note that these are not exact settings, they are set as "ideal" in order
not to break anything on devices where those constraints are not
implemented.
