{- load Exif information from a filename, returning Nothing if libexif
   encounters a NULL instead of raising an IO error.

   This is somewhat bogus because of the error type that is used by
   the EXIF library. We have to compare the error string to see if it
   is the kind of user error that we expect. If we build against an
   EXIF library that raises some other exception, then this build will
   still succeed, and the exception will be propagated instead of
   transformed into a handled photoname error.
