Summary: Support VP9 profile 2 in codec strings (was: Support vp9.2 codec id for VP9 profile 2)
We need to:
a) Finalize the string format ( issue 672240  and  issue 667834 )
b) Determine whether profile 2 is actually supported before returning "probably" or true (MSE, EME).
As I've explained in CL https://codereview.chromium.org/2550413003/, we are probably better off supporting both the legacy vp9.2 codec id (since it's already used by YouTube) and whatever the new standard is.
And re #2 - we do already have a mechanism for overriding supported codecs per-platform via MediaClient, so I don't think that's a big issue.

While issue 477103 made it possible to do (b), it is difficult to ensure Chrome is doing the right thing. I filed  issue 672327  to improve this. I think we should address that before complicating the logic for VP9.
Issue 672337 tracks implementing the checks for Chrome.
Status: WontFix (was: Available)
Now that extended codec ids for VP9 have been standardized, this is obsolete
