VideoCodecProfile is brittle

Project Member Reported by sande...@chromium.org, Apr 20 2016 
VideoCodecProfile combines both codec and profile into a single enum, and uses MIN/MAX ranges to allow extraction of just the codec. However, it is densely populated, so it is not possible to add profiles while maintaining the values.

These values are also reported to the Media.VideoCodecProfile UMA, so they cannot change.

Two paths forward:
  - Stop using VideoCodecProfile, always use a separate codec and profile. Note that media::MimeUtil already has a Codec enum.
  - Make the reporting step a mapping, so that VideoCodecProfile can be changed.

We should do both.

Still an issue, just not a very pressing one.
