Bug: Modulo is not part of the data model

[rleigh]

Opening this ticket to track more complete modulo support.

ModuloAlong?[ZTC] is implemented in Bio-Formats in Modulo.java, but is write-only, constructing the XML by hand. The annotation is read, but:

• there's no ModuloAlong? in the specification, even in a supplementary schema file or in a schema separate to the real specification, hence there's no validation of this specific annotation type.
• there's no Modulo support in the generated ome-xml model object code
• there's no possibility for upgrading the annotation
• without support in the model object, it's not possible to correctly serialise/deserialise to XML (except as a plain annotation); this doesn't include restoring the modulo state in the core metadata.

If we are going to generate files containing this annotation, it would be great to be able to validate, read and write using model objects, etc. Currently we don't read back in the annotations into the CoreMetadata? for OME-XML/OME-TIFF. Having generated model objects to handle this would make full support integrate nicely.
