feat(privacy): strip EXIF/XMP/IPTC from image uploads by default (#109)
Metadata was only dropped as a side effect of opt-in compression, so a
phone photo carried its GPS fix, camera model and timestamp into the room
and the media store. utils/stripImageMetadata.ts now removes it at the
container level, without touching pixels: JPEG drops APP1/APP13/COM
(writing back a minimal EXIF holding only Orientation when it isn't 1,
so sideways-stored photos still display upright), PNG drops eXIf and the
text chunks XMP lives in, WebP drops EXIF/XMP and clears the VP8X flags.
Other types pass through.

Applied before encryption on every composer path (attach, paste, drop,
share target) and to user/room avatar picks; GIF upload is excluded.
Setting → General → Privacy "Remove Photo Metadata Before Sending",
default on. The upload card says "Photo metadata removed".

Unit tests on generated fixtures with a GPS IFD (JPEG orientation 6,
JPEG + comment, PNG with eXIf + XMP, WebP with EXIF); verified end to
end: the bytes stored by Synapse decode fine and carry only Orientation.
