`libp2p-webrtc` is already claimed on crates.io

It seems like @wngr has been developing a WebRTC transport too and published it on crates.io. We either need to rename our crate or talk to @wngr whether they would transfer the name to us :)

A bit of background for you @wngr:

Over the last couple of months we have been working on a WebRTC transport for libp2p. The specification gives a good overview. There is an implementation in Rust (#2622, about to be released), Go (libp2p/go-libp2p#1655) and JS (https://github.com/little-bear-labs/js-libp2p-webrtc/).

For now this only covers the browser-to-server use-case (without signaling). We are working on browser-to-browser next. This would enable rust-libp2p running in the broser via WASM to communicate to any other browser. Thus this would be on par with your project https://github.com/wngr/libp2p-webrtc.

I see the above effort as a consolidation of the many libp2p WebRTC implementations out there. Would you agree that this would as well cover the use-case you are targeting with https://github.com/wngr/libp2p-webrtc?

No worries. Let me know who I should transfer it to.

🙏 thanks @wngr. I have sent you an email.

I am now an owner of the repository. Thanks @thomaseizinger for catching this early. Thanks @wngr for transferring ownership.
