In that previous work the only additional meta info he parsed was the image creation time; this PR similarly includes the same property. (I can't speak to why he included that property, but it looks like he has a lot of experience with ImageIO so I trust his judgment.)

Note that the `DateTime` value extracted by `ExifMarkerSegment.getImageCreationTime` is that of the primary image, not the thumbnail. This is included to support the `ImageCreationTime` element of the Image I/O Standard Metadata Format Specification `javax_imageio_1.0`.

For reference see the [Exif 3.0 specification](https://iptc.org/news/exif-3-0-released-featuring-utf-8-support), although the code from 2016 was based on Exif 2.x. The sections most pertinent to thumbnails are:

- 4.5.8 Basic Structure of Thumbnail Data
- 4.6.9.2 Thumbnail (1st IFD) Support Levels

>From section 4.6.9.2 in particular, there does not appear to be any thumbnail-specific metadata worth extracting.
