Description
Currently, an id parameter must be passed to nearly every method within Bio-Formats. We already save the current ID in an internal currentId variable; it would be better to eliminate the id parameter from all the methods and instead have a setId(String) method for changing it. Calling setId would basically call initFile with that id, so it would be more intuitive to control when initialization occurs.
We need to decide whether to deprecate all the old signatures, or merely remove them. I am leaning toward deprecation for a limited time, with eventual removal after a number of months.

Done in r2583. Old signatures have been deprecated for the time being; we should decide when to remove them.
