[media-source] Add new vp09 codec string to WebM Byte Stream Format

chcunningham has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source:

== Add new vp09 codec string to WebM Byte Stream Format ==
VP9 has a new codec string that adds details about the codec (profile, level, bit depth, color and eotf details, etc...). With these extra details, MediaSource.isTypeSupported(....) can be more accurate in assessing whether the UA can play the specific vp9 encoding. This is especially useful to know whether WCG and HDR content can be supported.

Find details for new codec string here
https://www.webmproject.org/vp9/mp4/

The WebM byte stream format explicitly supports the legacy "vp9" string in the "MIME-type parameters" table. This table can be updated to include support for the new string. Stand by for pull request from me or @wolenetz
