[Stats] Remove enum-like structs in favor of strings.

Due to a limitation of RTCStatsMember<T> not supporting enums, as well
as the fact that in JavaScript enums are represented as basic strings,
the stats enums have always been represented by T=std::string.

Now that we have WebIDL-ified[1] all RTCStats dictionaries and enum
values are simply string-copied (example: [2]) it seems safe to assume
that "stats enums are just strings" is here to stay.

Therefore there is little value in having C++ structs that look like
enums so I'm deleting those in favor of std::string operator==()
comparisons, e.g. `if (rtp_stream.kind == "audio")`. This removes some
lines of code from our code base.

I mostly want to get rid of these because they were taking up about 20%
of the rtcstats_objects.h real estate...

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
