* Exiv2 library
- 0000451: [exif] Fixed bug where an invalid Exif tag was created for
the user comment, when the tag was newly added to an image.
(Thanks to Anatoliy Kovalenko for reporting this bug)
- Added enum MetadataId and Image::supportsMetadata() to check what
metadata an image class supports. Changed CrwImage to silently
ignore calls to Iptc related functions instead of throwing an Error.
(Thanks to Will Stokes for suggesting the check feature)
- Cleaned up some include statements (mentioned here because this
may lead to unexpected compiler errors).
