Henrik Boström c929ab49b9 Reland "[Stats] Remove enum-like structs in favor of strings."
This is a reland of commit ccc87ea3c625e43ab138e00ba2ef1a2d99756199

Downstream project has been updated.

Original change's description:
> [Stats] Remove enum-like structs in favor of strings.
>
> Due to a limitation of RTCStatsMember<T> not supporting enums, as well
> as the fact that in JavaScript enums are represented as basic strings,
> the stats enums have always been represented by T=std::string.
>
> Now that we have WebIDL-ified[1] all RTCStats dictionaries and enum
> values are simply string-copied (example: [2]) it seems safe to assume
> that "stats enums are just strings" is here to stay.
>
> Therefore there is little value in having C++ structs that look like
> enums so I'm deleting those in favor of std::string operator==()
> comparisons, e.g. `if (rtp_stream.kind == "audio")`. This removes some
> lines of code from our code base.
>
> I mostly want to get rid of these because they were taking up about 20%
> of the rtcstats_objects.h real estate...

How to write code in the api/ directory

Mostly, just follow the regular style guide, but:

  • Note that api/ code is not exempt from the “.h and .cc files come in pairs” rule, so if you declare something in api/path/to/foo.h, it should be defined in api/path/to/foo.cc.
  • Headers in api/ should, if possible, not #include headers outside api/. Its not always possible to avoid this, but be aware that it adds to a small mountain of technical debt that were trying to shrink.
  • .cc files in api/, on the other hand, are free to #include headers outside api/.

That is, the preferred way for api/ code to access non-api/ code is to call it from a .cc file, so that users of our API headers wont transitively #include non-public headers.

For headers in api/ that need to refer to non-public types, forward declarations are often a lesser evil than including non-public header files. The usual rules still apply, though.

.cc files in api/ should preferably be kept reasonably small. If a substantial implementation is needed, consider putting it with our non-public code, and just call it from the api/ .cc file.
