Can now extract Exif from HEIF images where 'meta' is not the first box #489

I have not found any spec that says the 'meta' box has to be the first box in the file and we need the meta box to pick our handler.

When the meta box is the first box, we process like normal. If the meta box is not the first box, we scan through the entire file and set the handler when we do find the meta box. Then we reset the stream (if we can) and process it with that new handler.

So this WILL break if the meta box is not the first AND the stream is not resettable...
