                               RIFFFormatException

Creates new Tags from riffInput's input stream. Note that riffInput is not a parent since the RIFF file doesn't actually have a separate chunk which is the tags. Rather the tags are a section at the end of an existing chunk. This reads from riffInput until its bytesRemaining is zero. Also, after bytesRemaining is zero, this also calls riffInput.skipRemaining() to skip the possible pad byte. Upon return, the "getter" functions height(), width() etc. return the tag or null if there was no such tag.
