Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are some datasets that have images in TIFF format. To cover those images and make image feature connector more robust.

Describe the solution you'd like
A wrapper similar to jpeg and png for tiff format images

Additional context
TensorFlow's API has no method for encoding TIFF images as tf_dataset uses tf.encode.png/tf.encode.jpg function.

Research direction

Start by reading the image feature connector and the existing JPEG and PNG wrappers, then check how tf_dataset uses tf.encode.png and tf.encode.jpg. Determine how TIFF encoding can fit the TensorFlow API limitation; done means datasets containing TIFF images are supported through an equivalent connector wrapper and covered by the relevant connector tests.
