Add settings to turn off VP8 base layer qp limit

This quality boost means that we sometimes drop a _lot_ of frames in the
base layer. It also interacts poorly with the bitrate adjuster since
even if frames are dropped they are often over-sized.

The setting still leaves the current behavior as default, but can be
changed using the WebRTC-VideoRateControl field trial.

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

See http://www.webrtc.org/native-code/development for instructions on how to get started developing with the native code.
