Use rotation information in EXIF

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem
-------
* Currently, Thumbnailator does not recognize information in JPEG EXIFs, which 
can lead to photographs taken in portrait mode to be resized in landscape mode.


Solution
--------
* Read the EXIF metadata present in JPEG files
* If the EXIF metadata indicates that the image is in portrait mode, then 
perform a rotation ahead of the thumbnail generation.


Complications
-------------
* The behavior for handling portrait-oriented JPEGs in Thumbnailator will 
change after the introduction of this feature.

This is very important for images sent from mobile devices.  For example, the 
iphone vertical (standard) position is rotated by 90 degrees.

Addressing Issue 27 is a pre-requisite for this issue.

Work to automatically rotate the resulting thumbnail using information from the 
EXIF metadata has commenced.

Unfortunately, a picture taken in portrait with a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) 
that has an Orientation tag of "Rotate 90 CW" does not get rotated properly, 
but instead appears in landscape after thumbnailing. I might take a closer look 
in the source if I only have the time.

Sorry, didn't realize I had to use a specific type of an input source to get 
the desired effect. Seems to work now. Great little library. :)

@mike: Can you post what source did you have initially and what have you 
changed it to be? I have the same issue with jpg images.

@Denis, looking at the source I realized it works properly if you give it the 
image using a specific type. I don't have the source available right now, but 
if you give call Thumbnails.of() with a java.io.File, it will work out of the 
box with proper orientation handling.
