No functional change at the moment but it will allow choosing
the compression type.
This is an incompatible, user-visible change. To get the old
behavior, callers of tiff.Encode need to add ", nil" as the
last parameter.

Performance for an RGBA image:
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
BenchmarkEncode 1633495 7897 -99.52%
benchmark old MB/s new MB/s speedup
BenchmarkEncode 37.83 7824.96 206.85x
NRGBA images are now encoded as such, the spec calls it
"unassociated alpha".

The idea is to see whether it is worthwhile to implement special cases.
On my Mac Book Pro:
BenchmarkEncode 1000 1689656 ns/op 36.69 MB/s

The basic functionality works. Features to add in future CLs:
- compression
- fast paths for image formats that can be directly expressed in TIFF,
such as RGBA, NRGBA and maybe Gray and Paletted.
