Keep OpenH264 iMaxBitrate unspecified.

Max encoder bitrate in WebRTC and OpenH264 are different settings. In
WebRTC it is a cap for encoder target bitrate whilst in OpenH264 it is
a peak bitrate. I.e. OpenH264 is allowed to produce bitrate up to
iMaxBitrate for short time interval. That is not what WebRTC expects.

disabled encoders re-initialization on min/max bitrate change. Reinit of
some HW encoders takes hundreds of milliseconds and causes video freeze.
I missed that max bitrate is used by OpenH264. This caused regression
described in webrtc:11543.

This change sets iMaxBitrate=UNSPECIFIED_BIT_RATE (which is the default
value). Settings iMaxBitrate=UNSPECIFIED_BIT_RATE disables the frame
dropping logic based on that parameter. But the encoder still will drop
frames based on buffer fullness, https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:third_party/openh264/src/codec/encoder/core/src/ratectl.cpp;l=806-807

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
