Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Phones nowadays shoot mostly in .HEIF/.HEIC (Apple/Samsung) and RAWs like .DNG (altough .NEF and .CR2 plus Sony formats are also really widespread)

Files would be really extra useful if it allowed rotating photos with the wrong orientation out of the camera, for the file formats above beyond the currently supported JPG. I know exiftool handles all of them, with a simple exif metadata edit:
`exiftool -orientation#=1 -m -P -overwrite_original photo001.heic`
to set it as landscape

exiftool supports most image formats already.

### Requirements
- Enable rotation options for heif, heic, dng, nef and cr2 files

### Files Version

Versão: 2.3.60.0 OS Version: 10.0.22621.819

### Windows Version

Microsoft Windows 11 22H2 [Version 10.0.22621.819]

### Comments

open-source exiftool usually does the trick.
