Exif Description

Ente will try to read as much information from Exif when the image is uploaded, but after that, only the fields which have been parsed into Ente can be searched.

The app still show all the fields in the raw Exif data in the file info panel when someone taps on the "View all Exif" option, but otherwise the app is unaware of these fields.

In particular, for the description associated with a photo, the exact logic to determine the description from the Exif when uploading the image can be seen in this part of the code.
