Use PNaCl extension for Chrome instead of Whammy.js

[sfarthin]

Chrome will be releasing a video encoding pepper API for with Chrome 45. Since using Chrome's Portable Native Extensions (PNaCl) is invisible to the user (no installation steps necessary), I think it would be a good fit for your library. The Whammy method is interesting, but I cannot see it being used for any production use.

Example using the encoder: https://codereview.chromium.org/937643006/

There are still some issues with the example given and I am working with the Chromium team to address them:

Heres an example: https://github.com/sfarthin/pnacl_video_encode

With Chrome 45 you can test it here: http://sfarthin.github.io/pnacl_video_encode/video_encode.html Chrome 45 is in dev stage, but you can use Chrome Canary to try the example.

I'm just starting to explore the PNaCL video encoder, but it's crazy fast so far. I recommend we create a separate, dedicated repository for PNaCL encoder, then integrating into MediaStreamRecorder.
