[PATCH v2] apps: common: dng_writer: Workaround for "Unknown tag 33421" error

In libtiff version 4.5.1 and later the CFA* tags were missing. This got
fixed in https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/commit/49856998c3d82e65444b47bb4fb11b7830a0c2be
Unfortunately the fix is not released yet, but the faulty libtiff is
contained in current buildroot. As a local fix is pretty easy and
without side effects, let's workaround that.

Changes in v2:
- Removed EP prefix from tag names as these weren't available in older
  libtiff versions (the values are the same)
