GTIFF_DIR does not support georeferencing.

It appears that georeferencing is not read properly when accessing "GTIFF_DIR" subdatasets even though the coordinate system information works fine as shown here:

This dates back to r3834 apparently ! When opening with GTIFF_DIR, OpenOffset() receive the bBaseIn = FALSE parameter, which cause geotransform not to be read. I imagine this is to avoid reading geotransform in overviews as bBaseIn = FALSE is also passed in that later case

[Even Rouault]

Fixed in trunk (r19519) and tested in r19520. The change will only try reading the geotransform when OpenOffset() is called from the main Open() method or from OpenDir() (and not in other internal use case such as overviews and masks)
