Revert 8580 "Unify underlying frame buffer in I420VideoFrame and..."

This is unfortunately causing build problems in Chrome on Windows.

> Unify underlying frame buffer in I420VideoFrame and WebRtcVideoFrame
> 
> Currently, I420VideoFrame uses three webrtc::Plane to store pixel data, and WebRtcVideoFrame uses WebRtcVideoFrame::FrameBuffer/webrtc::VideoFrame. The two subclasses WebRtcTextureVideoFrame and TextureVideoFrame use a NativeHandle to store pixel data, and there is also a class WebRtcVideoRenderFrame that wraps an I420VideoFrame.
> 
> This CL replaces these classes with a new interface VideoFrameBuffer that provides the common functionality. This makes it possible to remove deep frame copies between cricket::VideoFrame and I420VideoFrame.
> 
> Some additional minor changes are:
> * Disallow creation of 0x0 texture frames.
> * Remove the half-implemented ref count functions in I420VideoFrame.
> * Remove the Alias functionality in WebRtcVideoFrame
> 
> The final goal is to eliminate all frame copies, but to limit the scope of this CL, some planned changes are postponed to follow-up CL:s (see planned changes in https://webrtc-codereview.appspot.com/38879004, or https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bxoJZNmlo-Z9GnQwIaWpEG6hDlL_W-bzka8Zb_K2NbA/preview). Specifically, this CL:
> * Keeps empty subclasses WebRtcTextureVideoFrame and TextureVideoFrame, and just delegates the construction to the superclass.
> * Keeps the deep copies from cricket::VideoFrame to I420VideoFrame.
