Initializing the encoder to heif_compression_HEVC by default throws an exception when libheif was built without HEVC support, which prevents it from being used entirely even if there is AVIF support. So delay that initialization until we are sure which encoder we want. Signed-off-by: Brecht Van Lommel <brecht@blender.org>

Description
Initializing the encoder to
heif_compression_HEVCby default throws an exception when libheif was built without HEVC support, which prevents it from being used entirely even if there is AVIF support.So delay that initialization until we are sure which encoding we want.
Tests
Not really any practical way to automatically test this.

the remaining ones fail, it's ok to submit the PR and ask for help. Or if
any failures seem entirely unrelated to your change; sometimes things break
