SDF Provider: Detect LL84 coordinate system when WKT is missing

Description

The SDF provider doesn't persist the coordionate system name, part of the unique spatial context. When a valid WKT is missing it is impossible to say if the csys is lat/long or not. This is essential for computing correctly area/length. A solution to overcome this limitation is to pass in the csys name as WKT when the WKT is empty. Then the provider will check (when necessary) the WKT for popular lat/long csys like "LL84".
