Subject: [PATCH] Do not require libde265 at configure time

The add-on includes only libheif headers and has never called libde265
directly. Requiring it blocks configuration against a system libheif
that already provides HEVC, whether built in or loaded as a plugin,
which is how freedesktop-sdk and several distributions ship it.

de265 stays in the include path and link line when it is found, so
static libheif builds that pull in libde265 are unaffected.
