Fix crash happening when changing from legacy to standard VP9.

Attempting to ship "WebRTC-AllowDisablingLegacyScalability" revealed a
DCHECK that happens when negotiating 3 VP9 streams prior to the
setParameters() call:
1. By default, `scalability_mode` is missing, so those 3 streams
   defaulted to legacy SVC, meaning only a single stream is used.
2. Then, setParameters() was called to make
   `encodings[0].scalability_mode = "L2T2_KEY"` and
   `encodings[1-2].active = false`. The inactive streams were just
   dummies and never expected to exist.

Without simulcast support this is OK, because both 1) and 2) are
interpreted to have a single stream. But with simulcast support, 1) is
interpreted as single stream and 2) as three streams (1 active, 2
inactive). This should be roughly the same setup, but our code treats
them differently.

The DCHECK crash was a mismatch in number of streams in one of the
layers.

The fix is to re-create the streams when the number of streams change
for this reason. The new test revealed other issues and fixes too:
- Support for multiple spatial layers (e.g. "L2T2_KEY") when multiple
  encodings exist but only one encoding is active.
- Allow inactive layers not to have a scalability mode set.

A laundry list (https://crbug.com/webrtc/15028) has been created to
update known places doing "if streams == 1" that need to do "if
active streams == 1" instead.

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.
