Summary:
Calling the PHImageManager to request image data for an asset will return a thumbnail (rather than a high resolution version of the photo) if the call occurs immediately after the photo was taken.

Concretely, the bug involves passing the following options:

PHImageRequestOptions *requestOptions = [[PHImageRequestOptions alloc] init];
requestOptions.synchronous = YES;
requestOptions.version = PHImageRequestOptionsVersionCurrent;

then calling -[PHImageManager requestImageDataForAsset:options:resultHandler:] with an asset that was recently taken by the camera, with a filter applied at time of capture.

This call is expected to return "the largest available representation of the image asset". Returning a thumbnail from this call breaks expectations and does not provide third-party developers with a consistent way to access high-resolution photo content.

Note that passing a delivery mode of PHImageRequestOptionsDeliveryModeHighQualityFormat has no effect on this call.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the camera app and take a photo with filter applied at point of capture.
2. Request image data from the PHImageManager with PHImageRequestOptionsVersionCurrent.

Expected Results:
The call should return a high resolution version of the photo with filter applied.

Actual Results:
The call returns a thumbnail (640x852) with the filter applied. Calling the same method at a later point in time returns the expected result.
