OME-TIFF metadata is allowed to be stored in a separate file.
This code change enables support for such OME-TIFFs. They have a special BinaryOnly metadata element which specifies the metadata filename in an attribute. From there on the metadata schema is the same.
I am making an assumption that the MetadataFile is a relative path to the current directory of the file being loaded. The only test data I have follows that assumption. We can expand this later if someone comes along with different data.
