Fixes: libp2p#173 Before this change, connecting to a webRTC peer over a relay would result in two open connections to the peer. One private-to-private webRTC connection and one relayed connection (used for signalling). In the browser-to-browser example, dialling B -> A simply returns the first existing connection to A (Added when dialling A -> B). The first connection is not the webRTC connection but rather the relayed connection. This causes the echo to break after the relay is closed or after the reservation expires. After signalling is complete, the relayed peer connection is no longer needed and can be closed. The only connection to the peer is webRTC at this point.

After closing the the connection to the relay, the example only works in a single direction.
I have created a draft PR to illustrate the problem via the test setup. I don't have any more information on why this is the case or how to fix it.
See: #172
