Add a flag to control legacy vs spec-compliant scalability mode.

The goal of the VP9 simulcast project is that when `scalability_mode`
is set, multiple encodings are always interpreted as simulcast, even
if VP9 or AV1 is used. This CL makes this so, but only if the flag
"WebRTC-AllowDisablingLegacyScalability" is "/Enabled/". This allows us
to make "SendingThreeEncodings_VP9_Simulcast" EXPECT VP9 simulcast.

When we are ready to ship we will remove the need to use the field
trial, but before we ship this we'll want to revisit if
SvcRateAllocator can be updated to support simulcast. (Today if we use
SvcRateAllocator when VP9 simulcast is used, all encodings except the
first one get bitrate=0, causing the test to fail because media is not
flowing on all layers.) For now, a TODO is added.
