While the H.264 and HEVC syntax and semantics for these coincide, the
HEVC implementation of it is not completely spec-compliant with respect
to its persistency: The persistence ends when the coded video sequence
ends and if the new coded video sequence does not have these SEIs, then
we would need to attach an AVMasteringDisplayMetadata and/or
AVContentLightMetadata just to cancel the earlier values. I just don't
want to enter this and this includes not extending it to H.264.
Anyway, I have now rebased this patchset on top of master:
https://github.com/mkver/FFmpeg/tree/h2645_sei (with no noteworthy
conflicts; basically the only change is that the second to last commit
now adds proper newlines to the newly created files). I intend to apply
it in two days unless there are objections.
