PhotoStructure ignored the date metadata of some photos, marked them as taken in 2002

Given that @Lars_Noschinski saw this issue too, and in both cases, there were other tags that had good contents, I think it’s safe to just remove CreateDate from the list of tags that PhotoStructure looks at by default. (see below)

For extra credit, the list of tags will be configurable via the new capturedAtTags library setting:

# +------------------+
# |  capturedAtTags  |
# +------------------+
#
# The following tags are examined to parse a file's captured-at time. The
# earliest valid tag is returned. See
# <https://photostructure.com/faq/captured-at/> for details.
#
# PS_CAPTURED_AT_TAGS="[\"SubSecDateTimeOriginal\",\"SubSecCreateDate\",\"SubSecTimeDigitized\",\"SubSecMediaCreateDate\",\"DateTimeOriginal\",\"OriginalCreateDateTime\",\"DateTimeCreated\",\"DateCreated\",\"DateTimeDigitized\",\"MediaCreateDate\",\"DateTime\",\"SubSecTime\",\"ModifyDate\",\"photoTakenTime\"]"

This change will be in -alpha.3, which is a couple days out (I need to finish search).
