Enable runtime configuration of the minimum rate for adaptive

throttles. Setting adaptive_throttle_min_bps will change the
minimum rate that the adapative throttles will drop to in case
of network packet loss. The current rate default rate is 256kbps.
The viewer can throttle rates under that amount, but the dynamic
adaptation will not.
