Adapting H.265 Video Compression for 16-Bit Integer images

[Shijou87]

Hello, and thank you for making this implementation accessible to everyone. While I don't specialize in video encoding, my question isn't directly about the repository's content. I'm curious if the H.265 video compression algorithm can be adapted for use with 16-bit integer images ?
This adaptation could hold significant potential for scientific fields.

H.265 works up to 16 bits per pixel. However, libde265 has never been tested with that.

I also don't know any encoder implementation that would support this. x265, for example, only does 8, 10, and 12 bits.

With #538, #543, 16 bit decoding should work.
