Images: new model for organizing images in Invenio (Photo albums)

The current model for storing images has a few limitations given by the fact that images can not be individually referenced. A new model should be considered, where each image and its subformats are 'attached' to one record id. An image will become a first class citizen in Invenio, meaning that it can be added to baskets, commented, shared, exported. For joining several images together, a new record can be created: the photo album record. Several new features could be implemented:

• more flexible and customizable slideshow embedding for albums;
• photo overlays;
• easy creation of new albums by selecting photos from existing albums (for example selecting a subset of photos from one restricted album, to make them available as public);
• read/write photo metadata (EXIF, XMP) (read metadata at submission time, for pre-filling the form, add missing metadata to the file, based on the submitter's input and make it available for export);
