There are currently issues with the hevc decoder after some of the 
commits that shared code with the vvc decoder were pushed. You can see 
it by running the hevc conformance suite in FATE under GCC ubsan.

Nuo Mi said he's looking at them, but if it takes him too much time we 
can revert the faulty commits before the release, in either master or 
even the actual release branch.
