[Bug 1266289] [NEW] XMP IPTC Creator metadata written to wrong property

[Alan Pater]

Public bug reported:

1) In digikam, select an image and go to Image > Metadata > Edit all
metdata > Edit XMP > Credits:Contact.

2) Fill in the fields, such as City. Apply, close the metadata editor, go to Image > Write metadata to image.
        Digikam uses exiv2 to write the metadata properties. 

3) Check which XMP properties where written using the exiv2 command line
tool.

$ exiv2 -px image.jpg | grep City
Xmp.iptc.CiAdrCity                           XmpText    13  Vancouver

4) Write equivalent property using exiftool: exiftool
-ContactCity=Vancouver image.jpg

5) Confirm which property was written using exiv2 command line.

$ exiv2 -px image.jpg | grep City
Xmp.iptc.CiAdrCity                                                                      XmpText    13  Vancouver
Xmp.iptc.CreatorContactInfo/Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity      XmpText      9  Vancouver

Digikam has written the wrong property. According to the XMP schema,
Creator Contact properties are nested under Creator Contact Info, not at
the root level themselves. Exiftool has written the correct form of this
property. Digikam/exiv2 have not.
