Latest YouTube app update increased video scaling quality that was limited to Nearest-neighbor interpolation on most devices

From a quick look it now seem like videos are upscaled using a basic Bilinear interpolation.

This is still poor compared to Bicubic, Lancoz or even better interpolation as provided by native hardware video surfaces on most chipsets but at least it's not completely insulting like it was before.

Note: tested with YouTube 5.5.27 on Nexus 7 (2013) 4.4.2
