3f756c5318 Camera connectivity established!
* Two users can activate their cameras locally and then connect them together
  with WebRTC with video and audio support working!
* Limitation: users need to be broadcasting video themselves before they can
  connect to someone's camera. If the offerer doesn't add tracks of their own,
  the SDP offer doesn't request video channels; so even though the answerer
  adds their tracks to the connection, they aren't used by the offerer.
* As currently implemented, the offerer's camera feed will also appear on
  screen for the answerer - every video connection opens the feed both ways.

Compared to the previous commit (where clients shared SDP messages but not
ICE candidates or anything further) the fixes and learnings were:

* The back-end was trying to relay candidate messages, but there was a JSON
  marshalling error (json object casted into a string) - changed the Message
  type to map[string]interface{} and both sides could exchange ICE candidates.
* Both sides needed to add their video tracks to the connection so that there
  was anything of value to be sent over the WebRTC channel.

Other changes:

* Server will send a ping message every minute to connected WebSockets.

5dbe938780 Initial WebRTC Code
* WebRTC pees exchange local/remote descriptions ("offer" and "answer")
* They don't seem to exchange ICE candidates yet
* Some back and forth happens but the final WebRTC stream connection
  isn't established yet.

4f93c27651 Progress on Chat Server
* Reworked full screen CSS layout for the chat.html, still using Bulma
  components with some custom CSS Grid.
* Duplicate username handling: server can push a new username to change
  the client's selection.
* Who List sync between clients.
* Local video casting works so far - plays back your camera in the local
  feed. Your video broadcasting boolean is synced to backend, which
  lights up the video button in the Who List.
