<UL>

  <LI>Make defer strile offset/bytecount loading available at runtime
    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.

    Another addition 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').

    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.
  </LI>

  <LI>The BigTIFF writer now optimizes file size by using 32-bit LONG
    values (rather than 64-bit) where it is reasonable and safe to do
    so.  Likewise, the 16-bit SHORT type is used when possible for
    StripByteCounts/TileByteCounts.

  <LI>The WIN32 build now uses tif_win32.c when building with CMake.</LI>

  CMake builds.  It was not being properly set!</LI>

    Changes in the libtiff library may be viewed on-line
    at <A HREF="https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/commits/master/libtiff">Libtiff
    Library Commits</A>.
  </LI>

  <LI>
    New function TIFFReadFromUserBuffer() which 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.
  </LI>

  <LI>
    New functions TIFFDeferStrileArrayWriting() and TIFFForceStrileArrayWriting()
    Those advanced writing functions must be used in a particular sequence
    to make their intended effect. Their aim is to control when/where
    the [Strip/Tile][Offsets/ByteCounts] arrays are written into the file.

    The purpose of this is to generate 'cloud-optimized geotiff' files where
    the first KB of the file only contain the IFD entries without the potentially
    large strile arrays. Those are written afterwards.
