Picture Chooser Android - Exception prevents Exif rotation when selecting from library

[grahampett]

When using IMvxPictureChooserTask.ChoosePictureFromLibrary() on Android, the method GetRealPathFromUri is returning null, causing a Java.Lang.IllegalArgumentException from the Android.Media.ExifInterface constructor in ExifRotateBitmap. This is handled by the try/catch block in LoadScaledBitmap, but returns the image without applying the correct rotation (e.g. for photos taken by devices that set Exif orientation rather than rotating the image).

Tested on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 running Lollipop. Also saw the exception on Nexus 5X running Marshmallow (but this camera rotates the image rather than setting Exif so no visible issue for user).
