Fix VP9 decoding on iOS

The current implementation of the VP9 payloader produces payloads that
are not compatible with iOS. This is because the payloader provides
only the muxing strategy called "flexible mode".

According to the VP9 RFC draft, there are two ways to wrap VP9 frames
into RTP packets: the "flexible mode" and the "non-flexible mode", with
the latter being the preferred one for live-streaming applications. In
particular, all browsers encodes VP9 RTP packets in the "non-flexible
mode", while iOS supports decoding RTP packets in this mode only, and
this is probably a problem shared by other implementations.

This patch improves the VP9 payloader by adding support for the
"non-flexible mode". The "flexible mode" is retained and a flag is
provided to perform the switch between the two modes.
