This PR contains refactored code.
**Changelog**
- Added new net code (the communication architecture was left intact).
- All network client IDs now have custom type `network.Uid` backed by github.com/rs/xid lib.
```
The string representation of a UUID takes 32 bytes, and the new type will take just 16.
Because of Golang JSON serialization problems with omitting zero-length empty slices (it can't)
and the need to use UID values as map keys (maps don't support slices as keys),
IDs are stored as strings (for now).
```
- A whole new WebSocket client/server implementation was added, as well as a new communication layer with synchronous and async call handlers.
- WebSocket connections now support dedicated Ping/Pong frames as opposed to original ping text messages.
- Used Gorilla WebSocket library doesn't allow concurrent (simultaneous) reads and writes, so this part was handled via send channel synchronization.
- New API structures can be found in the `pkg/api` folder.
- New communication protocol can be found in the `pkg/com/*` folder.
- Updated communication protocol is based on JSON-encoded messaging through WebSocket and has the following structure:
```
Packet
[id] string — a globally unique identification tag for the packet to track it trough a chain of requests.
t uint8 — contains packet type information (i.e. INIT_PACKET, SDP_OFFER_PACKET, ...).
[p] any — contains packet data (any type).
Each packet is a text message in JSON-serialized form (WebSocket control frames obviously not).
```
```
The main principle of this protocol and the duplex data exchange is:
the one who initializes connection is called a client, and
the one who is being connected to is called a server.
With the current architecture, the coordinator is the server, the user browsers and workers are the clients.
____ ____
↓ ↑ ↑ ↓
browser ⟶ coordinator ⟵ worker
(c) (s) (c)
One of the most crucial performance vise parts of these interactions is that
all the server-initiated calls to clients should be asynchronous!
```
- In order to track synchronous calls (packets) with an asynchronous protocol, such as WebSocket, each packet may have an `id` that should be copied in all subsequent requests/responses.
- The old `sessionID` param was replaced by `id` that should be stored inside the `p` (payload) part of the packet.
- It is possible to skip the default ping check for all connected workers on every user connection and just pick the first available with the new roundRobin param in the coordinator config file `coordinator.roundRobin: true/false`.
- Added a dedicated package for the system API (pkg/api/*).
- Added structured logging system (zerolog) for better logging and cloud services integration.
- Added a visual representation of the network message exchange in logs:

- Replaced a monstrous Prometheus metrics lib.
- Removed spflag dependency.
- Added new `version` config file param/constant for compatibility reasons.
- Bump the minimum required version for Go to 1.18 due to use of generics.
- Opus encoder now is cached and the default config is 96Kbps, complexity 5 (was 196Kbps, 8).
- Changed the default x264 quality parameters to `crf 23 / superfast / baseline` instead of `crf 17 / veryfast / main`.
- Added a separate WebRTC logging config param `webrtc.logLevel`.
- Worker now allocates much less memory.
- Optimized and fixed RGB to YUV converter.
- `--v=5` logging cmd flag was removed and replaced with the `debug` config parameter.
**Breaking changes (migration to v3)**
- Coordinator server API changes, see web/js/api/api.js.
- Coordinator client event API changes:
- c `GAME_PLAYER_IDX_CHANGE` (string) -> `GAME_PLAYER_IDX` (number)
- c `GAME_PLAYER_IDX` -> `GAME_PLAYER_IDX_SET`
- c `MEDIA_STREAM_INITIALIZED` -> `WEBRTC_NEW_CONNECTION`
- c `MEDIA_STREAM_SDP_AVAILABLE` -> `WEBRTC_SDP_OFFER`
- c `MEDIA_STREAM_CANDIDATE_ADD` -> `WEBRTC_ICE_CANDIDATE_RECEIVED`
- c `MEDIA_STREAM_CANDIDATE_FLUSH` -> `WEBRTC_ICE_CANDIDATES_FLUSH`
- x `MEDIA_STREAM_READY` -> **removed**
- c `CONNECTION_READY` -> `WEBRTC_CONNECTION_READY`
- c `CONNECTION_CLOSED` -> `WEBRTC_CONNECTION_CLOSED`
- c `GET_SERVER_LIST` -> `WORKER_LIST_FETCHED`
- x `KEY_STATE_UPDATED` -> **removed**
- n `WEBRTC_ICE_CANDIDATE_FOUND`
- n `WEBRTC_SDP_ANSWER`
- n `MESSAGE`
- `rtcp` module renamed to `webrtc`.
- Controller state equals Libretro controller state (changed order of bits), see: web/js/input/input.js.
- Added new `coordintaor.selector` config param that changes the selection algorithm for workers. By default it will select any free worker. Set this param to `ping` for the old behavior.
- Changed the name of the `webrtc.iceServers.url` config param to `webrtc.iceServers.urls`.
We add a new option for manual worker or machine (server with multiple workers) select, depending on the new coordinator option `coordinator.debug` which by default allows machine selection.
This allows switching GA client statistics on the client by setting these params in the config.yaml file:
analytics:
inject: false/true
gtag: (your tag)
By default, GA analytics will be disabled.
Both worker and coordinator display version number in the console during startup. Coordinator displays its version number in the top right corner of the index.html page.

Since Pion's webrtc v3.0.13 and this fix if both peers have some fmtp set then codecs should match exactly. By default Pion defines a list of supported codecs with fmtp set but different browsers set their own fmtp values by default as well therefore they may not match.
To fix this we can define our own list of codecs on the server with empty fmtp so it will match any client codecs.

(experimental feature)
Before a worker can start, it should have a configuration file. In case if such a file is not found it may request configuration from the coordinator to which it connected.
Added example logic if a worker is needed to be blocked until a successful packet exchange with a coordinator is being made.
