JitterEstimator: add field trial overrides for avg frame filter

This change adds a median filter that can replace the
IIR filter that is currently used to estimate the
avg frame size (in bytes). It is enabled through a boolean,
and reuses the window length from the max percentile filter.

The median filter is only used by the delay calculation in
`CalculateEstimate()`. It does not replaced the use of the
IIR estimate in the size outlier rejection heuristic.
