Make encoderImplementation/decoderImplementation video-only

There has been not enough interest to implement this for audio for years. Maybe easier to update the spec to match the implementation? (Can always revisit later if there is a need for this)

:+1: - for video this makes sense since there are actually different encoders (software vs hardware) but for audio I can only think of the alternatives "libopus" and "builtin" (for g711 + g722)

on a principled basis, it would seem that it should be implemented returning the constant string "default". but reflecting reality is kind of important too.

if you send stats elsewhere (even using techniques like delta compression) you don't want the extra bytes or memory
