Revert "Fix getStats() freeze bug affecting Chromium but not WebRTC standalone."

This reverts commit 05d43c6f7fe497fed0f2c8714e2042dd07a86df2.

Reason for revert: It breaks some Chromium trybots:
https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/builders/luci.chromium.try/linux_chromium_asan_rel_ng/206387
https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/builders/luci.chromium.try/linux_chromium_tsan_rel_ng/207737
https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/builders/luci.chromium.try/win10_chromium_x64_rel_ng/202283

Original change's description:
> Fix getStats() freeze bug affecting Chromium but not WebRTC standalone.
> 
> PeerConnection::Close() is, per-spec, a blocking operation.
> Unfortunately, PeerConnection is implemented to own resources used by
> the network thread, and Close() - on the signaling thread - destroys
> these resources. As such, tasks run in parallel like getStats() get into
> race conditions with Close() unless synchronized. The mechanism in-place
> is RTCStatsCollector::WaitForPendingRequest(), it waits until the
> network thread is done with the in-parallel stats request.
> 
> Prior to this CL, this was implemented by performing
> rtc::Thread::ProcessMessages() in a loop until the network thread had
> posted a task on the signaling thread to say that it was done which
> would then get processed by ProcessMessages(). In WebRTC this works, and
> the test is RTCStatsIntegrationTest.GetsStatsWhileClosingPeerConnection.
> 
> But because Chromium's thread wrapper does no support
> ProcessMessages(), calling getStats() followed by close() in Chrome
> resulted in waiting forever (https://crbug.com/850907).
> 
> In this CL, the process messages loop is removed. Instead, the shared
> resources are guarded by an rtc::Event. WaitForPendingRequest() still
> blocks the signaling thread, but only while shared resources are in use
> by the network thread. After this CL, calling WaitForPendingRequest() no
> longer has any unexpected side-effects since it no longer processes
> other messages that might have been posted on the thread.
> 
> The resource ownership and threading model of WebRTC deserves to be
> revisited, but this fixes a common Chromium crash without redesigning
> PeerConnection, in a way that does not cause more blocking than what
> the other PeerConnection methods are already doing.
> 
> Note: An alternative to using rtc::Event is to use resource locks and
> to not perform the stats collection on the network thread if the
> request was cancelled before the start of processing, but this has very
> little benefit in terms of performance: once the network thread starts
> collecting the stats, it would use the lock until collection is
> completed, blocking the signaling thread trying to acquire that lock
> anyway. This defeats the purpose and is a riskier change, since
> cancelling partial collection in this inherently racy edge-case would
> have observable differences from the returned stats, which may cause
> more regressions.
