Extend image I/O API with metadata support #27499
Covered with the PR:
* AVIF encoder can write exif, xmp, icc
* AVIF decoder can read exif
* JPEG encoder can write exif
* JPEG decoder can read exif
* PNG encoder can write exif
* PNG decoder can read exif
This PR is a sort of preamble for #27488. I suggest to merge this one first to OpenCV 4.x, then promote this change to OpenCV 5.x and then provide extra API to read and write metadata in 5.x (or maybe 4.x) in a style similar to #27488. Maybe in that PR exif packing/unpacking should be done using a separate external API. That is, metadata reading and writing can/should be done in 2 steps:
* [1] pack and then [2] embed exif into image at the encoding stage.
* [1] extract and then [2] unpack exif at the decoding stage.

Hello everyone,
I created this new version of the imread function and I think it can be very useful in several cases.
It is actually passed to it object on which you want to upload the image.
The advantages can be different like in case one needs to open several large images all the same in sequence.
one can use the same pointer and the system would not allocate memory each time.
