The bug

Older versions of EXIF had a ISOSpeedRatings tag that took the format of an ordered array of integers (source on p15 of EXIF Spec). This tag is present in photos taken on some Android phones up through about 2014.

When uploading a file to Immich that includes this tag, it expects this field to be an integer even though the array is per the EXIF spec and cannot process it:

[Nest] 1  - 05/29/2023, 2:41:54 PM   ERROR [ProcessorService] Unable to run job handler: QueryFailedError: invalid input syntax for type integer: "64, 0, 0"

    at async Queue.<anonymous> (/usr/src/app/dist/apps/microservices/apps/microservices/src/processor.service.js:84:37)

Expected behavior: as this field is deprecated, it should probably just be ignored by Immich. But it definitely shouldn't error out.

Reproduction steps

1. Upload a file with an array of integers in the ISOSpeedRatings EXIF field (per the old EXIF spec).
2. Error appears in microservices app logs when processing.
