Bug 1839617 - Allow GMP video decoder in release.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: Some users won't get H264 decoding.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
• Needs manual test from QE?: No
• If yes, steps to reproduce:
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): It is not risky because QA has manually verified this in beta, and we've been happy with the stability in nightly. We are already shipping the OpenH264 plugin update to beta users, whom have been exercising it with WebRTC, this just allows a few more to decode regular H264 content.
• String changes made/needed:
• Is Android affected?: No

Bug 1832568 was nominated for the relnotes at one point - were we going to call this out in the final 115 relnotes?
