Dave Kiss d5b45a82ff Allow definition of MediaRecorder mimeType (#1708)
* Allow definition of MediaRecorder mimeType

This PR introduces a new option for the `@uppy/webcam` plugin called `preferredMimeType` which defaults as `null`.

If a value is passed, the browser's `MediaRecorder` implementation checks if the `preferredMimeType` is supported, and if it thinks it is, will attempt to record using the `preferredMimeType` rather than the browser default.

If the `preferredMimeType` is unsupported, the browser will fall back to using its default recording mime type.

This allows, for example, a user to pass `preferredMimeType: "video/webm"` during the `@uppy/webcam` plugin construction which will instruct the browser to record to a `.webm` container.

Specific codecs may also be passed here. For example, `video/webm;codecs=vp8` may still parse as valid by the browser.

## Limitations
This does not currently change the mime type for captured images on line 282 (`image/jpeg`) and will only pass the `preferredMimeType` to the browser `MediaRecorder` API.
