Noteworthy Changes:
IMPORTANT: Simulcast landed and is pref'd on
We landed our implementation of simulcast. This should not impact non-simulcast use cases. (See bug 1230197, bug 1210170, bug 1231507, bug 1242203 for details on the landing.)
If you think you've found a problem or a regression, please let Maire (mreavy on irc) know as soon as possible.

Other noteworthy changes:
- Landed full duplex support for pulse audio (Linux) in WebRTC, pref'd off. (See bug 1221587, bug 1241476, bug 1221576.)
- Landed packetization code necessary to pref on VP9 in WebRTC, VP9 is still pref'd off. (See bug 1237023)
- Rewrote MSG shutdown code to be less fragile. (See bug 1239873.)
- This means a number of intermittents should go away and shutdown should be more reliable.
- Added RTCRtpReceiver and fire ontrack for remote tracks. (See bug 1232082.)
- Fixed the label property on a media stream track for gUM-based Media Streams. (See bug 866513.
- Implemented echoCancellation, mozAutoGainControl and mozNoiseSuppression gUM constraints. (See bug 987186.)
- Fixed getting microphone share permission when camera share permission is pending and vice versa. (See bug 1224766.)
- Re-enabled all disabled WebRTC e10s tests. (See bug 1234363.)
