Xpra: Ticket #784: BPG compression support
BPG is based on HEVC.
Unlike other options, in particular #616 - this library is clean and simple to use.
It supports transparency, a lossless mode, etc..
Potentially a good alternative for webp / png in lossless mode, and maybe even displacing jpeg at high quality (probably lower speed).

Raising: this is better than PNG, and we end up using PNG a lot.

The encoder code is just not very friendly and has to duplicate lots of tricky functions (ie: "build_modified_hevc", etc).
