x265-4.2

[zeckma]

New minor version.

This release fixes a memory leak, and fails to build for 32-bit, both for multilib and on i?86.

The fix for the 32-bit issue is quite simple:

UNIX64 in the code was switched to FORMAT_ELF to adjust for MacOS. But now the code doesn't check what the architecture is, which is important since i?86 cannot do PLT, which the condition goes through if true. So both the architecture and format needs to be checked. With this change, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiles fine.

The issue covering this build failure is discussed here: ​https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/issues/1030/42-build-fails-on-i686-elf-format-cannot.

The sed and -D CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 are now unneeded.
