The RFC spec draft only specifies the "H265" name - there is no specification saying how to interpret "HEVC" (if such a packet format is specified it could be an entirely different format). Since this is a very new standard (still a draft), there is little need for compatibility with existing, broken implementations. Therefore remove the extra alias, to avoid the risk of encouraging incorrect usage. Intentionally keeping the ff_hevc_dynamic_handler name for the handler, to use "hevc" consistently as name for the codec instead of "h265" within the library internals as long as there only is one single variant in actual use.
