Having the value reader itself take care of the bigtiff and limit
semantics is a little cleaner, with the TagReader being responsible
for the interface of grabbing specific types of IFD values.
This allows us to recombine the reader and other file data in a Decoder
with any IFD, whether that of an image or an extension IFD as indicated
by an IFD pointer such as Exif and GPS.
The previous strategy could not keep track of all cycles such as
reflexive ones at the very start. Additionally, it would fail to be able
to iterate after seeking since it was overly cautious and verified the
next IFD position before allowing the read of a current IFD.
The new implementation is furthermore proof against having multiple
independent chains of IFD which may occur when iterating SubIFDs for
thumbnails. (Note that we do not verify the tree-structure, only a
freedom from cycles).
