HEIF container parser in pure Go

This is a fork of jdeng/goheif but without C code — only for parsing HEIF container and extracting EXIF.

	fin := flag.Arg(0)
	fi, err := os.Open(fin)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer fi.Close()

	exif, err := goheif.ExtractExif(fi)
	if err != nil {
		log.Printf("Warning: no EXIF from %s: %v\n", fin, err)
	}
