exif(): read HEIF/HEIC originals with exifreader (closes #145)
check / check (push) Successful in 2m10s

`photo.exif()` and `quak backup-metadata --exif` now read EXIF through `exifreader`. HEIC/HEIF originals get EXIF, including a live photo's image, as do the other formats `exifreader` reads. It replaces `exif-reader` and the hand-written JPEG scan. `PhotoExif` is unchanged.

The `backup-metadata` dump now holds `exifreader`'s tag output, with unnamed tags keyed `undefined-` plus their number. GPS altitude without a reference counts as above sea level. A latitude or longitude without its hemisphere tag, an unreadable text tag, and a date the parser rejects each give no field.

Licence: `exifreader` is MPL-2.0, used unmodified.

Model: opus-5-5
