Introduce WebRTC-VideoEncoderSettings/encoder_thread_limit:X.

As requested by a CEF hosted application (https://crbug.com/1406331)
who want to be able to limit the number of threads in a controlled
environment, this CL adds a flag to control the max limit per encoder.

For plumbing-reasons, this is placed in VideoEncoder::Settings but
with a note that this is considered an experimental API with limited
support. For now only LibvpxVp8Encoder uses it and there are no plans
to roll this out.

I have manually confirmed this is working with printf debugging,
--force-fieldtrials=WebRTC-VideoEncoderSettings/encoder_thread_limit:2
and https://jsfiddle.net/henbos/2bd6m7Lt/

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
