This function replaces the use of TIFFReadEncodedStrip()/TIFFReadEncodedTile()
when the user can provide the buffer for the input data, for example when
he wants to avoid libtiff to read the strile offset/count values from the
[Strip|Tile][Offsets/ByteCounts] array.
... and add per-strile offset/bytecount loading capabilities.
Part of this commit makes the behaviour that was previously met when
libtiff was compiled with -DDEFER_STRILE_LOAD available for default builds
when specifying the new 'D' (Deferred) TIFFOpen() flag. In that mode, the [Tile/Strip][ByteCounts/Offsets]
arrays are only loaded when first accessed. This can speed-up the opening
of files stored on the network when just metadata retrieval is needed.
This mode has been used for years by the GDAL library when compiled with
its embeded libtiff copy.
To avoid potential out-of-tree code (typically codecs) that would use
the td_stripbytecount and td_stripoffset array inconditionnaly assuming they
have been loaded, those have been suffixed with _p (for protected). The
use of the new functions mentionned below is then recommended.
Another addition of this commit is the capability of loading only the
values of the offset/bytecount of the strile of interest instead of the
whole array. This is enabled with the new 'O' (Ondemand) flag of TIFFOpen()
(which implies 'D'). That behaviour has also been used by GDAL, which hacked
into the td_stripoffset/td_stripbytecount arrays directly. The new code
added in the _TIFFFetchStrileValue() and _TIFFPartialReadStripArray() internal
functions is mostly a port of what was in GDAL GTiff driver previously.
Related to that, the public TIFFGetStrileOffset[WithErr]() and TIFFGetStrileByteCount[WithErr]()
functions have been added to API. They are of particular interest when
using sparse files (with offset == bytecount == 0) and you want to detect
if a strile is present or not without decompressing the data, or updating
an existing sparse file.
They will also be used to enable a future enhancement where client code can entirely
skip bytecount loading in some situtations
A new test/defer_strile_loading.c test has been added to test the above
capabilities.
