Better support for writing OME-TIFF, including proposed modifications

Description

Bio-Formats can write OME-TIFF by inserting the proper OME-XML string into the first IFD using TiffWriter.saveImage(String, Image, Hashtable, boolean), but the TiffData element must be manually injected into the string first, which is inelegant. It would be better to have some API dedicated to OME-TIFF specifically that takes care of TiffData element(s), prepends a reasonable warning comment as per the OME-TIFF proposed modifications (see ticket #80), and other conveniences.

Now that we have split off OmeTiffReader from TiffReader, it makes sense to also create an OmeTiffWriter to take care of most of the complexity of building the OME-XML string. This is a necessary step along the path to widespread adoption.
