Random Access Point

Regarding the patch, I think its a better idea to ask the x265
developers to offer this functionality, similar to how libx264 does.
They are pretty open to such suggestions, and iirc. Derek (the
author/maintainer of the libx265 wrapper) already had plans for this
in some form and shape.
