Fix critical ICE candidate timing bug

ICE candidate handler was being set up AFTER setLocalDescription, but ICE
gathering starts when setLocalDescription is called. This meant candidates
were generated before the handler was attached, so they were never sent to
the server, causing connection failures.

Fixed by:
- Setting up ICE handler BEFORE setLocalDescription in both offer and answer flows
- Changed setupIceCandidateHandler() to use this.peer.offerId instead of parameter
- Handler now checks this.peer.offerId before sending (waits for it to be set)

Order of operations now:
1. Set up ICE candidate handler
2. Call setLocalDescription (ICE gathering starts)
3. Set this.peer.offerId (handler can now send candidates)

This ensures all ICE candidates are captured and sent to the server.
