[MP] Let MultiplayerAPI handle packet relaying and peer signaling.
MultiplayerPeer changes: - Adds is_server_relay_supported virtual method Informs the upper MultiplayerAPI layer if it can signal peers connected to the server to other clients, and perform packet relaying among them. - Adds get_packet_channel and get_packet_mode virtual methods Allows the MultiplayerAPI to retrieve the channel and transfer modes to use when relaying the last received packet. SceneMultiplayerPeer changes: - Implement peer signaling and packet relaying when the MultiplayerPeer advertise they are supported. ENet, WebRTC, WebSocket changes: - Removed custom code for relaying from WebSocket and ENet, and let it be handled by the upper layer. - Update WebRTC to split create_client, create_server, and create_mesh, with the latter behaving like the old initialize with "server_compatibility = false", and the first two supporting the upper layer relaying protocol.

<description>
This class constructs a full mesh of [WebRTCPeerConnection] (one connection for each peer) that can be used as a [member MultiplayerAPI.multiplayer_peer].
You can add each [WebRTCPeerConnection] via [method add_peer] or remove them via [method remove_peer]. Peers must be added in [constant WebRTCPeerConnection.STATE_NEW] state to allow it to create the appropriate channels. This class will not create offers nor set descriptions, it will only poll them, and notify connections and disconnections.
- [signal MultiplayerPeer.connection_succeeded] and [signal MultiplayerPeer.server_disconnected] will not be emitted unless [code]server_compatibility[/code] is [code]true[/code] in [method initialize]. Beside that data transfer works like in a [MultiplayerPeer].
+ [signal MultiplayerPeer.connection_succeeded] and [signal MultiplayerPeer.server_disconnected] will not be emitted unless the peer is created using [method create_client]. Beside that data transfer works like in a [MultiplayerPeer].
[b]Note:[/b] When exporting to Android, make sure to enable the [code]INTERNET[/code] permission in the Android export preset before exporting the project or using one-click deploy. Otherwise, network communication of any kind will be blocked by Android.
