suspicious ImageShow dependency

Does this package really need ImageShow? I ask this because OMETIFF sounds like a pure image IO backend.

I believe I originally included it for pragmatic reasons because sometimes the display would attempt to dump an enormous image after loading and crash IJulia. I believe this usually happened when it used Colors.jl's show function instead of writing to a PNG and reading it back in like ImageShow. Not sure if that's been fixed.

Given that I don't see any ill effects of not having ImageShow in TiffImages, I went ahead and merged.

That issue was fixed in JuliaGraphics/Colors.jl#346
