With XMP auto-write on, photo.readMetadataFromFile committed what it read
and the command handler then wrote the sidecar back, adding lc:settings to
a sidecar that had only another app's crs: settings. Later reads prefer
lc:settings, so LRTimelapse's next crs: edits were ignored. The read now
sets the existing one-command skip_auto_write switch (as photo.removeRegion
does); edits made afterwards are still auto-written.
Tests: a read leaves the sidecar byte for byte and a later develop edit is
still written; the issue's crs:Exposure2012 0.5 -> 1.2 round trip is read.
