Add Preset for MKV: "MKV H.265 No Resizing High Compression"

[stevenpusser]

I already patched this into presets.xml for the MX Linux build by basically copying the same preset for MP4, and it works a treat to shrink videos considerably without losing quality. Its advantage over the MP4 preset is that it will preserve embedded subtitle streams in mkv input videos, where converting to mp4 format loses them.

Uhhh--I have to say I really don't know how to do make a pull request, and my online time has been limited due to the pandemic...but the patch to add it to presets.xml is in the debian/patches folder in the MX build: http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/test/m/mystiq/mystiq_20.03.23-0.1~mx19+2.debian.tar.xz

It's basically almost a direct copy of the same preset for MP4.
