It's worth mentioning: any software that uses x265 probably needs to
be rebuilt after upgrading x265 to 4.1.

Builds affected:

avidemux (x265 is optional)
fceux (x265 is optional)
heif-gimp-plugin
kaffeine
kaffeine-mozilla
libheif
obs-studio
qdvdauthor
qt-heif-image-plugin
sopcast-player
vlc
vlsub

These have been tested with the new x265 and should have no problems
building/running with it. However, there have been some ABI changes in
x265, so it's a good idea to rebuild these if you use them.

In particular, avidemux will likely segfault if it was built with the
old x265 and you try to run it with the new one and encode a video
with the x265 codec.
