When I made #1621, I had assumed that capabilities were being exposed in ParticipantInfo alongside clientProtocol, so that other participants could use this new capabilities field for detection of features which may or may not be implemented by other clients. However, it looks like the first use case of capabilities (packet trailer / frame metadata) didn't need to do this - so capabilities was only ever added to ClientInfo so that clients could report it, and the SFU then used this metadata exclusively.

So, add capabilities to ParticipantInfo so that it can be used as part of the data streams v2 project so that a participant can detect which of their peer participants support compression, and which do not.
