 `WebRTCPeer` has a `buffer` that is used to hold bytes until the data
 channel is connected. We should remove it after the turbotunnel changes
 are merged (#33745). What ends up happening is the reliability layer ends
 up retransmitting packets as they sit in the buffer, and when the data
 channel is finally established, all those old useless packets get sent in
 a mass. It's better to just drop those packets on the floor before the
 data channel exists.
