Release 28.0.0

• 🌱/✨/🐞 ExifTool upgraded to v12.89. Notably, ExifTool on Windows is now using the "official" packaging. This should be equivalent to prior builds, as exiftool-vendored.exe was already using Oliver Betz's perl launcher.

• 💔 Prior versions included APP1Tags, APP4Tags, APP5Tags, APP6Tags, APP12Tags, and APP14Tags. Unfortunately, due to field name duplications, fields could hop between these interfaces between versions. These have all been collapsed into a single new APPTags.

• ✨ Added support for old Sony A7 UTC inference. Thanks for the help, Friso Smit!

• ✨ Added support for Android Motion Photos. Thanks for the help, Lukas!

• 📦 Updated ReadTask and WriteTask constructors to be public as well as the .parse() methods as a workaround for #190

• 📦 Fought AND WON a very obscure issue with Node v22.5.0
