Re: [mediacapture-record] Deprecate MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported() by limiting it to vp8, vp9, h264 aka avc1, av1 aka av01, and opus (#226)

Hi @jan-ivar, when adding HEVC support we had some internal discussion on wether we should allow wildcardish operation and the conclusion at the time was to not allow it.

We support allowing user agents that implement the wildcard strategy to fire an event asynchronously, but we want to allow Chrome to continue to do what it is doing (i.e. throw exception at construction or have isTypeSupported return false for codec.* types) for backwards-compat reason. We think it would be more ideal to feature freeze rather than change.
