v8

This release is focused on three main areas:

1. Video quality:
   1. better distribution of available bandwidth in singlePC.
   2. better handling of PLIs.
   3. fixes to BWE algorithms and RTP/RTCP.
2. Negotiation:
   1. Sending offers from erizo for subscriptions.
   2. Streamlined negotiation with queues in both client and server side.
   3. Better stream management.
3. Dependencies cleanup and update:
   1. We’re now using Node v12 and C++ 14,
   2. new versions of Conan, mocha, eslint, Winston…
   3. we no longer require libnice and glib

And, as always, many fixes and compatibility updates.
