libcupsfilters: Read image resolution from EXIF data of JPEG, PNG, TIFF
If images are printed with "print-scaling=none" one wants to have their original size. To get an original size in absolute dimensions (inches, cm) one needs the pixel count and resolution (dpi, ppi). The resolution is supposed to be in the image's own header but in practice it is often not there.
Images from cameras, and also from some scanners, have additional metadata, the so-called EXIF data which usually contains a resolution. So we read out this with the help of libexif.
In Linux distributions there we usually have libexif and so it is no big effort to let libcupsfilters use it. But it is not required, so for low-resource systems libcupsfilters can be built without (and then not having this feature).
