Correct for image orientation when loading image

JPEG and other image formats may include an EXIF orientation tag
which indicates in what orientation (rotation and mirroring)
the image should be displayed. libgdk-pixbuf does not correct for this
when loading an image, but provides a function to apply the transform
after the fact, which this commit uses.
