Explicitly identify ambiguous VRs like OW/OB #19

Some dictionary items are OW/OB, 'US or SS' etc. See if can resolve which
was actually used and read with appropriate byte swapping if required.
  * e.g. PixelData is OB for encapsulated formats -- PS 3.5-2008 A.4

Set difficulty. Chose 'Hard' based on fact that determining whether is OB or OW 
may 
require knowing values of other data elements, which can be tricky. Perhaps it 
can be 
done like for private tags, where Private Creator was checked when the data 
element 
was added to the dataset (__setitem__ in that case).
