Strip metadata from processed images (closes #82)
check / check (push) Successful in 13s

Every output is exported with govips' StripMetadata, so it carries no
EXIF (GPS, serial numbers, embedded thumbnails), XMP, IPTC or ICC
profile, the orig format included: it is always re-encoded, and pixa
never serves the source bytes. The image is turned upright with
AutoRotate right after decoding, so dropping the orientation tag does
not leave it rotated, and a requested size applies to the upright
image. An image with an ICC profile is converted to sRGB before export.
No setting turns this off. README.md documents it.
