Subject: [PATCH] feat: high-quality video/audio defaults for Sunbeam

- VP9 @ 1080p/8Mbps/30fps (was VP8 720p/1.7Mbps)
- 320kbps stereo Opus audio (was 48kbps mono)
- Screen share @ 1080p/60fps/8Mbps (was 30fps/5Mbps)
- VP9 SVC replaces simulcast (single stream with embedded layers)
- Auto VP8 fallback for incompatible clients
