Title: Expose basic EXIF metadata reading to FreeImage

This PR builds off the changes in the pull request for Issue #112, and exposes a basic method to pull string-based tags out of image metadata in the `read()` and `read_multipage()` functions.

It's not a perfect solution to reading all sorts of tag data, which may be a problem, but it does solve an important issue for reading various tiff-based microscopy image formats which store important metadata as strings.
