tagwriter has always written a WAV's tags into a RIFF "id3 " chunk
correctly, and dhowden/tag -- which metadata.ExtractTags is built on --
has no RIFF reader at all.  So the app could not see tags it had just
written: editing tags on a WAV, autotagging a WAV folder or importing a
WAV download all appeared to succeed and changed nothing the library
could show, while the file on disk really was tagged and other players
read it.

backend/riff is a new package rather than a move into either half,
because tagwriter already imports metadata: reaching back for parseRIFF
is an import cycle, not merely the wrong direction.  backend/tagtotals
is the precedent.

Its two readers are deliberately different.  Parse holds every chunk in
memory, which is what rewriting a file needs -- and a WAV's audio *is*
a chunk, so doing that on the scan path would read every WAV in the
library in full.  ID3Chunk seeks over what it is not looking for.

The container is asked before tag.ReadFrom rather than after it fails,
because that library's last resort is an ID3v1 trailer and a WAV
carrying both would otherwise be read by the wrong one.  An untagged
WAV -- no chunk, an RF64 container, a tag with every frame cleared --
reads as empty metadata with no TagReadWarning: the scanner's filename
fallback is the right answer there, and a warning would report a fault
on a healthy file.

The gap was pinned by TestWAVTagsAreNotReadableYet, which failed the
moment the reader learned and said in its own comment what to update.
So it goes, TestFixturesMatchManifest no longer skips wav, and
totals_test.go's WAV case reads through metadata.ExtractTags like the
other three formats -- a round trip asserted through the writer's own
parser was a test of the writer, which is why nothing caught this.

Closes #104
