Step 1: Deploy VipsScaler extension, but only use

12.5MP and/or TIFFs (which currently generate errors). Let this sit

configuration.
I should note that PagedTiffHandler currently does support vips, but
only unconditionally; we can't choose to only scale images with vips
that are currently too large. If tiff support is to be enabled in the
first step, then PagedTiffHandler should somehow be interfacing with
VipsHandler, which does allow conditional scaling.
I think it's reasonable to include all of the TIFFs in the initial
deployment, as a beta test. TIFFs are rarely used, and the people who
upload them are relatively technically capable, so the impact of any
issues would be limited.
