When using androidx/releases/exifinterface the EXIF data isn't read in correctly causing rotation information not to be loaded. This bug was found after I noticed that coil wasn't respecting the orientation in webp files. Their jpg counter parts did rotate correctly.
Notes:
- It's able to find the EXIF section but does not take into account the "Exif App1 Section"
- This causes the the issue where it can't read the TIFF header correctly and fails to retrieve the byte-order information (which means it gives up on reading the exif metadata section)
- After skipping 6 bytes of the Exif APP1 section and adjusting the payload, it will correctly process the EXIF section.
Changes: code changes
| Google WebP image with exif | WebP image with Exif App1 section |
|---|---|

Observation: Google's test data contains a WebP image without an Exif App1 section.
