HEIF Support

The new file format ✨

iOS 11 by default will now save image files from the camera in HEIF format. A format that can contain non-destructive edits, and combine stills and video in a single file (think Live Photos) with improved compression over JPEGs.

I'm writing this ticket to determine which part of the gm chain where HEIF support should be added. At the very least, to parse a HEIF file and pull out the still to treat the rest of the process as if it has just loaded a JPEG.

Also, the ability to save back down to a HEIF.
