Please add namespace XMP-crd (Adobe Camera Raw Defaults)

[johnrellis]

Since at least last fall, Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom have started using a new namespace:

XMP-crd  (http://ns.adobe.com/camera-raw-defaults/1.0/)

As with XMP-crs, I haven't found any formal documentation, but it appears that XMP-crd supports the same tag names as XMP-crs.

The Nikon Z 6 and Z 7 cameras introduced last year include XMP-crd tags in their NEF raw files, which Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom interpret as the default settings for that photo.   

Adding the namespace to ExifTool would allow the tags to be written by default.

To see an example, download this Z 6 photo: https://img.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_z6/photos/nikon_z6_66.nef.

Thanks.  I'll look into this as soon as I get a chance.
