Preserving metadata of uploaded images regardless of whether it can be parsed.

I've noticed that more and more posters no longer include metadata in their postings.

It is possible that these users no longer include the data in the upload, but it is much more likely that the metadata (mostly likely ComfyUI workflow) is not being parsed properly.

For example, I've tested uploading this image: https://i.ibb.co/PZq3RRS/00062-generated-679830085033461.png

The comfyUI metadata is there, but the parser failed to extract it.

Instead of just giving up and throw away the unparseable metadata, wouldn't it make more sense to simply leave the data alone as raw metadata for the image? It will be the raw, which may or may not be correct, but at least it is something that the downloader can look at and maybe paste into the ComfyUI and see if the workflow shows up.

So instead of the usual "workflow" field, maybe just say "raw metadata", which can then be copied into the clipboard by clicking on it.
