recorder: Switch to vp9

Currently we have been using the vp8 codec because it was the best unencumbered codec at that time. With vp9 we now have a successor that leads to smaller
files at at the same video quality and has been supported by current browsers
for a while.

With the raise of hidpi and 4K displays we need a better codec that handles
those resolutions better, so switch to vp9.
