Update tiffRead.m

[shinkira]

For SI2016 data, scanimage.util.opentif is not readily available? (I could not find it online...)
So I came up with workaround with MATLAB built-in function.
This might be easier for other people in the lab to use.

I think this is a nice, temporary workaround, but I was actually planning to replace our tiffRead function entirely with this scanimage tiff reader:
http://scanimage.gitlab.io/ScanImageTiffReaderDocs/

The reader is ~3x as fast reading data from the server, works for generic tiffs, and has internal methods for extracting metadata that scanimage will keep updated in the future, so we son't have to change our code as scanimage changes.

this is going to be easy to fix with the scanimage tiff reader. in addition to metadata, each frame has a 'description' which includes among other things its frame number since the start of the acquisition (independent of how the frames are chunked into files). If we simply use this to calculate slice/channel, it should work flawlessly. I'm making a pull request now for the new tiff reader

I downloaded the zip file from the link, and ScanImageTiffReader calls MEX files. The zip file contains some MEX files but they are not compatible with my PC. How do you compile the code into MEX files?
