We ran into the alignment problem on Mac 10.9 debug again. This is the only CL I see in the range that adds an rtc::CriticalSection, so I'm trying out reverting it before attempting another roll.

These methods are called on the VideoSender's construction thread, which is the same thread as modifies the value of _encoder. It's therefore safe to not require a lock to access _encoder on this thread.
I'm making access to the rate variables from VCMGenericEncoder, thread safe, by using a lock that's not associated with the encoder. There should be little to no contention there. While modifying VCMGenericEncoder, I noticed that a couple of member variables weren't needed, so I removed them.
The reason for this change is that getStats is currently contending with the encoder when Bitrate() is called. On my machine, this means that getStats can take about 25-30ms instead of ~1ms.
Also adding some documentation for other methods and a suggestion for how we could avoid contention between the encoder and the network thread.

Fetching the current codec for sake of gathering stats, is frequently blocked since it's done by acquiring the same lock as is held while encoding frames. This can mean tens of milliseconds.
To improve this, I'm taking advantage of the fact that the codec information is set on the same thread as is used to query the information. This means that locking isn't needed for querying this information. I'm adding checks to make sure debug builds will crash if this isn't followed.
An alternative to this approach could be to add one more lock that is specifically used for the codec information variable. This would also decouple querying codec information from the encoder itself, but still requires a lock.
This patch depends on making ThreadChecker part of rtc_base_approved:

This fixes a variety of MSVC warnings about value truncations when implicitly
storing the 64-bit values we get back from e.g. TimeTicks in 32-bit objects, and
removes the need for a number of explicit casts.
This also moves a number of constants so they're declared right where they're used, which is easier to read and maintain, and makes some of them of integral type rather than using the "enum hack".
