Send video bitrate and user bandwidth to Watchman (#7145)
* adding functionality to detect user download speed

* calculating bandwidth speed more intelligently

* saving download speed and updating it every 30s

* all the functionality should be done needs testing

* fix linting

* use a 1mb file for calculating bandwidth

* add optional chaining plugin to babel and get bitrate from texttrack

* allow optional chaining for flow

* ignore flow error

* disable bandwidth checking functionality

* fix flow error
