Florian LoretanandGitHub 7818dd21b9 fix: bound data-track buffering under downlink congestion (targetLatency) (#4667)
* fix: bound data-track buffering under downlink congestion

The SFU data-track down-channel writer was constructed with targetLatency=0,
which disables the buffered-amount/latency-based drop in writeUnreliable. Under
subscriber downlink congestion, frames were queued unbounded and in order in the
per-subscriber SCTP send buffer instead of being dropped, so end-to-end latency
grew without limit and only drained once congestion cleared. This contradicts
data tracks being a low-latency, lossy transport.

Wire a dedicated `datachannel_data_track_target_latency` config through to both
data-track writer call sites (mirroring how `datachannel_lossy_target_latency`
controls the lossy publishData channel), reusing lossyDataChannelMinBufferedAmount
as the drop floor. Defaults to 100ms so data tracks are latency-bounded out of
the box; set to 0 to restore the previous unbounded behavior.

Fixes #4666

* fix: track drained bytes on successful unreliable data channel writes

writeUnreliable only called BitrateCalculator.AddBytes when a write failed,
so on the common success path the calculator never received samples. As a
result Bitrate() had no data and the latency-based drop threshold collapsed to
the static minBufferedAmount floor, making the per-subscriber latency control
(datachannel_lossy_target_latency and the new datachannel_data_track_target_latency)
effectively inert. Call AddBytes after every write, matching writeReliable.
