Title: add possibility to create a Pix from an in memory Tiff file

This PR exposes the leptonica pixReadMemTiff function to the managed code.

This avoids creating a Bitmap (which internally uses GDI+, which uses a global lock, which causes contention on highly concurrent scenarios).

PS: i'm not very experienced with interop, so maybe there is a better way to send the data over to the unmanaged world.
