It may be desirable for the frontend to receive ancillary information
over the control channel.

Such information includes but is not limited to time code metas, support
for other metas (eg custom meta) might be implemented in the future, as
well as downstream events.

This patch implements a new info message, probes buffers that arrive at
nicesink to look up timecode metas and potentially forwards them to the
consumer when the `forward-metas` property is set appropriately.

Internally, a "dye" meta is used to trace the media identifier the
packet we are about to send over relates to, as rtpfunnel bundles all
packets together.

The example frontend code also gets a minor update and now logs info
messages to the console.
