Ignore namespaces when filling in an XMLAnnotation's Value

This prevents the xmlns on Value from being set to an empty string.
Location: only delegate to File.isHidden() on Windows

This bypasses substantial performance problems when calling isHidden()
on Mac OS X/Linux over NFS.  Fixes #6586, see #12027.
FormatReader: speed up getUsedFiles()

We can assume that each call to getSeriesUsedFiles(...) will contain an
array with no duplicates.  If there is only one series in the fileset,
then, we can speed up large filesets by removing the extra check for
duplicate files.

See #12027.
DICOM: ensure that getSeriesUsedFiles returns an array of unique paths
DICOM: fix file grouping so that path names are normalized

On Windows in particular, the list of pattern files often has extra path separator escaping, which prevents the
pattern files from being matched with the files from the directory listing.
Allow dist-matlab to run on Windows
DICOM: expand sequence reading to include known sequences

See QA 9184.

ImageJ: disable file grouping when not reading from the filesystem

In particular, this disables grouping when reading over HTTP, as that is
at best extremely slow.

Fixes #12158.
