Support TIF output #193

This is basically a further iteration of #98. The main point addressed there was the output format. It was argued that lossless compression was a better fit for the general use case. Support for png was added in #113 in order to address these concerns. Support for jpg was maintained as it allowed for the metadata. Now I wanted to further iterate on the appropriate lossless format to support in opennotescanner. While experimenting with lossless image formats I noticed that for monochrome images I get far better compression rates using tif format with group4 compression (tested using imagemagick). Would there be a case to support tif format for output?
