Delete code that thinks H265 should have same QP as H264.

The QualityScalingExperiment class is used for two things:
1. Parsing a field trial that is not used in Chrome anymore but kept
   around for backwards compat with other dependencies.
2. Provide default QP thresholds for VP8, VP9 and H264 in cases where
   the encoder implementation is not providing their own QP thresholds
   (which otherwise overrides these defaults).

The H264 thresholds were used as a placeholder for H265 not having any
QP thresholds of its own. Now manual QP/PSNR measurements, backed by
codec theory, has proven that H265 needs its own set of QP thresholds
separate from H264, so we delete this code path.

Any H265 encoder will now be forced to set `scaling_settings`, which is
already the case for other codecs that were added after the QP
experiment was sunset, namely AV1. (If it fails to do so, QP scaling is
disabled which would be a bug, see for example chromium:399587133.)

In Chrome, H265 sets its own QP thresholds as of this CL landing:

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
