This change supports the "HEVC Video with Alpha" profile introduced in WWDC 2019
<https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/506/>. (This change is a
partial fix for Ticket #7965.)

For example, the following command converts an animation PNG file to an HEVC
with Alpha video:
./ffmpeg -i fate-suite/apng/clock.png -c:v hevc_videotoolbox -allow_sw 1 -alpha_quality 0.75 -vtag hvc1 clock.mov

(This change uses the "HEVC Video with Alpha" profile only when the
'-alpha_quality' value is not 0 for backward compatibility.)

Greetings,

Thank you for your help in advance.
Unfortunately, my patch, which add support the "HEVC with alpha" profile to the videotoolbox encoder, has not been reviewed for nearly three weeks. Would it be possible to give me why nobody has reviewed my patch?

Regards,

Hironori Bono
