Resolves #8522
#7053 found that "EXIFIFDOffset" tag 34665 was being unexpectedly treated as a TIFF_LONG8 by libtiff. To fix this, it cast many TIFF_LONGs to 64-bits.
This reverts that change. Instead, I found https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/blob/master/libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c#L152-164 explaining that this is special behaviour for the IFD tags.
This PR passes the EXIF, GPSInfo and Interop IFDs to libtiff as TIFF_LONG8.
