Julia: MacOS Catalina Plots.jl Issue in 1.5

[gideonsimpson]

Not sure who is responsible for this, but 1.5 on Catalina is generating the following issue for me when I try to use Plots.jl. I have had no problem with v1.4 on the same machine.

Thank you, this solution work for me. 😄

Just tested. It solve a similar issue under Windows 10 as well. Thanks!

Now that https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/18881 is merged, you can remove x264_jll and update the registry. This issue can also be closed
