[Bloat] waveform bufferbloat test is GOOOD

It seems like the bufferbloat test is having some issues on Firefox mobile on Android: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=54563bc4-03dc-4f99-be0f-6d969a70d71c

The loaded latency is obviously wrong. I don't have this issue with Google Chrome on Android: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=81877531-2d9c-40f6-b440-8a8338923b1e

It's also a bit strange that the unloaded latency is so much higher on Android compared to the values I get on my laptop (I get an unloaded latency of 3 ms with fast.com on Android): https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=74727162-bbe4-4fdc-95f4-a4e0f2fcfdfe

My tests with SQM also report the unloaded latency figure ion the top right as 0ms (while my link forces A >=12ms RTT to the first IP address after my router). I would guess that there is still some development going on and hopefully that will be fixed.
