Handle mixed OME/non-OME XML blocks

Description

When looking for OME-XML blocks, Bio-Formats assumes the entire tree will be enclosed in a root <OME> element, with no extraneous root elements or non-OME subtrees anywhere. Ideally, we would like to handle more heterogeneous cases, including:

  • Non-OME block after an OME block
  • Non-OME block before an OME block
  • Multiple OME blocks, and/or multiple non-OME blocks

Obviously, there is not a lot we can do with arbitrary XML from a practical perspective other than ignore it, but for now the goal is merely to avoid throwing an exception in these cases.
