hvc1 brand HEVC Video Stream for QuickTime Compatibility

(Since Apple abandoned Quicktime on Windows and I don't own a Mac anymore, I can't test.)

Setting the brand words for changing the brand on the mp4 container to hvc1, but not on the HEVC stream - no matter what I set for that option x265 seems to write an hev1 brand to the video elementary stream.  And it's the stream brand that QuickTime's gawking at, even when I have iTunes compatibility enabled.

If you have any other ideas I'm happy to test them.  If not, I have a workaround for my clients (use mpv instead of QuickTime, which also has the benefit of much better playback performance), but if there's a fix lurking somewhere in the x265 syntax it'd be convenient to have the compatibility.
