New description:
I've run golangci-lint against the current code and there are a number of
errcheck, golint, and govet issues raised.
An example is in the directory snowflake/server-webrtc and is pasted
below. The error messages are trivial to update to meet with conventions.
But I have a query about how to deal with the errors not being handled.
For example pw.CloseWithError(err) can generate an error, should that
error merely be logged, or should some other action take place (an error
sent to the user perhaps?)
