NDPI support

[David Gutman]

So we've actually come out with a workaround-- I've tiled and
generated NDPI files much larger than that.. but of course it's a bit
of a hack.

We basically take the input NDPI file, tile it at 40X resolution into
4K x 4K tiles (which we use for image analysis purposes anyway), and
then we've written some code to reassemble the TILED directory into a
single BIGTIFF image.

The end result is something that is BIGTIFF friendly...

The images on here are 20X and 40X SVS files... but I have a number of
similar portals where I have a couple of thousand of similarly
converted NDPI files (although they aren't publicly available...
behind a firewall at my University)...
