Was "[PATCH] libx264: Do not explicitly set X264_API_IMPORTS"

Setting X264_API_IMPORTS only affects msvc builds and it breaks linking to
static builds (although is required for shared builds). This flag is set by
x264 in its pkgconfig as required since build 158
(a615f027ed172e2dd5380e736d487aa858a0c4ff) from July 2019. So this patch
updates configure to require a newer x264 build that correctly sets the
imports flag.

Alternatively we can detect the x264 build version in configure and keep
the fallback of manually setting the flag on older x264 builds that arent
using pkgconfig (to keep the old behaviour) but that requires some complex
configure changes.

I think this would effectivly drop ubuntu LTS support which seem to
ship older versions

thx

As I mentioned in the patch comments, if dropping pre 158 is not suitable
then some changes to configure could be made to fallback to old behaviour
but I'm not familiar enough with configure to do it. The configure check
would then need to be updated to do a pkg_config check if build 158 or
newer and if not then fallback to setting X264_API_IMPORTS on the command
line. This fallback still wouldnt allow static linking with msvc but that
is the current behaviour so it's not changing anything there. So some help
on what the correct configure changes should be would be appreciated.
