Don't restrict max simulcast layers when `requested_resolution` is used.

The code that restricts the maximum number of simulcast layers based on
resolution is a spec-compliance bug and doesn't make much sense: if the
app asks for 3 layers it should get 3 layers. Since the app knows the
size of the track, it could very easily ask for 1 layer when resolution
is small if that is the behavior it wanted. If the app doesn't ask to
disable layers, WebRTC shouldn't disable layers on its behalf.

This behavior makes even less sense with this "new" API since the app
is explicitly controlling the send resolution in absolute terms.

Removing this behavior in the general case is out of scope since it
would break backwards compatibility, but since `requested_resolution`
has not been exposed to the web yet and existing usage is small, this
is an opportunity to fix the compliance bug for this API.

This CL makes the last web platform test for "scaleResolutionDownTo"
pass.

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
