There are some minor technical issues left to do on this issue, but this should …be mostly OK. --- This commit switches the Go library used for EXIF to one written from scratch by me. The specifications/implementations on this are all over the place, and to stop endless discussions, I decided to make [Exiftool](https://github.com/bep/imagemeta?tab=readme-ov-file#when-in-doubt-exiftools-is-right) the source of truth. This also brings EXIF support for `WebP` and `PNG` in addition to `JPEG` and `TIFF`. The [imagemeta](https://github.com/bep/imagemeta) library also supports `XMP` and `IPTC` metadata, but that requires an API change on the Hugo side, so that needs to be taken as a later task. This should mostly work as before (only much faster). There are some tag names that have changed names, and there's a new `imagemeta.Rat` type that replaces `math/big.Rat` for rational numbers, but if you just print these numbers, you will not notice. Closes #10855 Closes #8586

I’m in the process of switching out the library used for image metadata (e.g. EXIF).
