Subject: [PATCH] web: stop double-JSON-encoding the signal payload
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Browser was JSON.stringify-ing the inner payload before putting it
in the outer message envelope. Go side then saw a JSON string where
it expected a JSON object, and SignalPayload Unmarshal silently
failed — which is why answers never made it back through the
peer connection.
