Description
When saving an image, there is some view-related metadata that is currently not being recorded. Specifically, knowing the composite mode of an image would be useful, as well as other display properties, such as the current index for each axis.
One way to handle it would be for `DatasetService#save` to add (key, value) pairs to the `ImgPlus`'s [properties](https://github.com/imglib/imglib/commit/46feae1f3f253b00ce5f9f9fd2a11e2f42705f98), which [SCIFIO then preserves](https://github.com/scifio/scifio/issues/172). This would work around the fact that SCIFIO knows nothing about ImageJ `DatasetView`s.

Research direction
Start by reading DatasetService#save and the linked ImgPlus properties and SCIFIO references. Determine how view-related metadata such as composite mode and each axis's current index can be represented as properties. Done means saving an image preserves these values for later access.
