Subject: [PATCH] Write standard tagged blocks
 (lnsr/lyid/clbl/infx/knko/lspf/lclr/fxrp) per layer

Photoshop reads a layer's tagged blocks until it sees a non-8BIM
signature. With only 'luni' the next bytes are the channel data, which PS
mis-parses and the layer pixels come out empty. PS writes the standard
block set, so we now mirror it (verified: blocks list now matches the
reference PSD).
