[Feature] Support Custom EXIF Tags

[jrasm91]

Support user-defined custom tags as searchable content in immich.

Notes:

• Add a new admin config section to the Web UI for "Custom Tags"
• Allow the user to input a list of tag names
• Add a new column "extraTags" to the Exif Info table
• Auto-extract these tags in the metadata extraction processor and store them the new column
• Add two new custom fields in typesense asset schema:

{"name": "customSearch", "type": "object"}
{"name": "customFacet", "type": "object", "facet": true}

• Transform "extraTags" into customSearch and customFacet based on the configuration from admin custom tags
• Query params passthrough for custom tags to typesense to make it possible to query and filter on the custom tags
• Support some level of tag transformation to make it possible to include tags as lists

Is anyone else actively working on this? im interested in picking it up I was planning on doing something similar to the user management page:

• dedicated sidebar menu item
• simple table to crud that has columns | exifTag | description | editButton
• When creating a new tag, ill try to make something so that its easy to add a list of tags too

@sellnat77 i believe @alex-phillips has a branch on this. I don't remember the state of the branch though

Taking a little break from this beast...server and db changes are pretty hefty but i think ive at least got some form of the web changes in a good spot. Ill try to break this into separate PRs

I really would like to see lens model in info. Is this the feature request which would provide that or should I add a sepaarate feature request?

The lens model information is already shown, at least in all my cases

Well 800mm you do probably know which lens it was :-). But if it was 50mm it could be a 50mm lens or a 24-105mm, etc. Model is in the Lens and Lens Model field and is like "Sony FE 24-105mm".

I did realize this could be searched though. I found the code for that display and it is hard-coded to that. Would probably like an environment variable configurable list of properties if we were going to change it.

On some cameras (at least all Canons I had to this day) set the Focal Length to 50mm if there is no lens attached or the lens isn't communicating with the Camera.
