In theory the media engine can switch from sending simulcast -> non-simulcast on the fly and without additional signaling (either intentionally, or unintentionally due to a bug for example). The JS code can also activate/de-activate simulcast on the fly without signaling that back to the bridge (that would definitely be due to a bug). We recently observed for some scrambling video issues with the latest bridge and suspected that a bug in the JS code was causing the media engine to switch from doing simulcast -> not simulcast without signaling that to the bridge. This PR implements adaptive track projection context switches and treats the change from simulcast -> non-simulcast stream as a codec switch. Further analysis showed that there this wasn't an issue in the client and that there's no such simulcast -> non-simulcast switch, but it's good to be able to cope with such switches on the fly, so I'm opening a PR for that functionality.
Also this PR includes fixes for a few minor issues and it also brings back logging of the COLIBRI messages received/sent by the bridge.
