The CDM headers have removed the CDM 9 interface, and since we want to pull new headers to support encrypted AV1 we need to remove our usage on CDM interface 9. We haven't been shipping CDM 9 for some time now, since at least 68, so we should be able to just yank the code.

See bug 1487811 for the last time we removed a CDM interface.

This patch removes the code that tries to instantiate CDM interface version 9.
This code is no longer needed as Widevine have moved away from this interface.
At the time of writing Chromium have not used this interface for more than a
year, and Mozilla have not shipped CDMs using the interface for at least 6
months.

This updates comments to no longer reference the removed CDM 9 interface. Prior
to these changes the comments should have referenced interfaces 9 + 10, but in
some cases the 10 was omitted, so those comments are corrected too.

Depends on D68046
