x265 needs major update

[gaming-hacker (G Alexander)]

Hello,

Current macports version is 3.2.1 while current released version is 3.5

The master_sites is ​https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/downloads/

but this is now changed to x265_git

The portfile really needs to use the Release branch

​https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/src/Release_3.5/

homebrew has this formula

​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/x265.rb

it's not clear which API the current formula uses or how video bit depth support

they build it as a static lib three different times, with 8, 10, and 12 bit support, then combine the three static libs into one static lib.

I could not find any tarballs available for 3.5 so I updated to 3.4 ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/9225
