Description
https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile provides a way to get kerchunk references out of individual TIFF files and sometimes sequences (see long thread: https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile/issues/125). It also provides access to TIFF tags, which, for the case of GeoTIFF (or COG) will contain coordinates information. We should write a wrapper to persist these tags to the output and, optionally, generate appropriate coordinates.

Research direction
Read the linked tifffile issue #125 and the tifffile reference-generation behavior first. Then identify the kerchunk wrapper entry point and determine how TIFF tags should be persisted and how optional GeoTIFF or COG coordinates should be represented. Done means the wrapper supports individual TIFFs and applicable sequences with tag persistence and optional coordinate generation.
