Bug: exiftool updating Quicktime Rotation value sets values incorrectly

[ehet1708]

Reading of originally set Quicktime Rotation values for HEIC/HEIF files seems to be correct.

> exiftool -json -groupheadings -sort -n -a -e image.heic | grep Rotation
    "Rotation": 90,

But when I update the rotation of an image using:

> exiftool -Rotation=270 image.heic
    1 image files updated

And then read the value back out:
> exiftool -json -groupheadings -sort -n -a -e image.heic | grep Rotation
    "Rotation" : 4590,

This looks like for some reason the rotation values are getting an extra 12 rotations (12 x 360 = 4320) added to the values instead of simply being 0, 90, 180, 270

Using exiftool 11.86-1 from Debian bullseye (testing)

Cool, thanks for the quick response.  Any chance you can give a link that shows the fix so I can patch my current code?

You'll have to wait for the release.  I've made other changes as well.
