Just in case nobody had noticed yet, there are actual differences in
the limitations of what you can do with the streams in the container
between 'hev1' and 'hvc1'.

Quoting 14496-15:
- "For a video stream that a particular sample entry applies to, the
video parameter set, sequence parameter sets, and picture parameter
sets, shall be stored only in the sample entry when the sample entry
name is 'hvc1', and may be stored in the sample entry and the samples
when the sample entry name is 'hev1'."
- "When the sample entry name is 'hvc1', the default and mandatory
value of array_completeness is 1 for arrays of all types of parameter
sets, and 0 for all other arrays. When the sample entry name is
'hev1', the default value of array_completeness is 0 for all arrays."

So yea, HEVC1 let us do a lot of stuff including putting parameter
sets in-band, while HVC1 specifically notes that we don't have
anything like that in-band.
