[FFmpeg-devel,v6] libx264: Set min build version to 158

From: Matt Oliver <protogonoi@gmail.com>

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.

The requirement for 158 is applied for msvc builds only,
no change is made for all other cases.

    libx264: Set min build version to 158
    
    I'm submitting this patch on behalf of Matt with his permission.
    
    There was agreement that the >= 158 version requirement should be
    applied to MSVC builds only.
    
    v2: restrict the version requirement to msvc builds
    v3: fix unintended author change
    v4: add missing braces
    v5: fixed condition (again ;-)
    v6: hope I got it now..

x264 without pkg-config feature got removed. If this is intentonal, 
then maybe you should mention this in the commit message?

Why is the x262 check got silently removed? This does not seem to belong 
to this commit.

Thanks,
Marton

Probably not. Removing it is fine by me, but the removal should be 
stated in the commit message.

I'd rather keep the X262 cpp check for now.
