Description
Following https://github.com/scifio/scifio/issues/153.
Add a way to only save OME XML metadata on the first IFD instead rewriting all dataset. According to @ctrueden, Bio-Formats and SCIFIO already have this feature.

Research direction
Start with the linked SCIFIO issue and inspect how Bio-Formats and SCIFIO already support metadata-only saves. Then trace ImageJ2's image-saving entry point and identify a test that can verify OME XML is written to the first IFD without rewriting the whole dataset.
