EXIF metadata is not extracted

[mbradshaw]

Summary of the bug:
Checking metadata in AVFormatContext, AVStream, and AVFrame, there is no metadata. However, the image surely has EXIF metadata associated with it. I'm particularly interested in getting the Orientation tag, but all of it would be nice.

Image was taken with a Canon PowerShot A1000IS. I can provide more samples if needed. Download link for file is ​https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BxWx_dIBnyRodEJsNW1FLVZ0blU (5.9MB)

How to reproduce:
Here is the ffprobe output (when using my own program, I can see metadata is clearly empty):

[DonMoir]

I attached 8 sample jpegs in jpeg_orientaton.zip that represent flipped x, y and rotated.

Pictures taken with camera in landscape mode or however can be flipped or rotated and becoming more common.

I cannot use ffmpeg for jpegs because of this and some jpegs are not decoded right in ffmpeg last I checked. I see some work is being done for jpegs and will recheck when I get the chance.
