Bug description:Corrupt EXIF header: maximum directory nesting level reached for some cameras.

Description:
------------
EXIF data from certain cameras is not read correctly by
exif_read_data(), it fails part way through with the error "Corrupt EXIF
header: maximum directory nesting level reached".

My camera is a Fujifilm F770EXR and the two links below are additional
reports of the same problem with Fujifilm cameras. I don't know if any
other makes are affected.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10075066/issues-extracting-exif-data-for-exif-2-3-using-php-version-5-2-9

I think the problem is due to the amount of extra tags Fujifilm include,
causing the code in exif.c to think the header is corrupt before it
finishes reading it all.

I think it can be fixed by increasing the value of MAX_IFD_NESTING_LEVEL
defined in ext/exif/exif.c. I used a value of 200 and it appears to have
resolved the problem on my installation.
