Android: enable HW encoding

Android: enable HW encoding

Android video encode accelerator was disabled based on gpu blacklist since
the day it's born, as in https://codereview.chromium.org/74563002/#ps330001.
We have tweaked the encoding codes on Android a bit. Now H264 has been
enabled by default for WebRTC calls. And VP8&H264 are enabled for MediaRecorder
too recently. Both are done by bypassing the blacklist.
So it's time to enable HW encoding on Android.

This CL is to revert the PS#3 of https://codereview.chromium.org/74563002,
as removing the entry in gpu blacklist to enable HW encoing on Android.
And add a flag to keep VP8 disabled for WebRTC for now.
