Gdalwarp - GeoTiff creation option PROFILE ineffective

Description (last modified by warmerdam) 

When exporting to GeoTiff with Gdalwarp, the creation option -co PROFILE=GeoTIFF or -co PROFILE=BASELINE is ignored. The geotiff dataset is always created with GeoTiff tags (and GDALGeoTiff tags, if any).

Tested under FWTools/Win32 1.2.3.

Some aspects of the PROFILE creation option only work when CreateCopy()
is used, not Create().  Gdalwarp uses Create(). 

This is quite confusing, and isn't strictly necessary.  The Create method
could be changed to associate the profile with the produced dataset, and 
avoid writing stuff to it that violates the the profile requirements.  

This will be a somewhat tricky change, and I judge it to not belong in 
the 1.4 branch, just trunk.  So I'm going to defer it a while so we
can concentrate on 1.4.

I have corrected enforcement of PROFILE for Create and CreateCopy in trunk (r14033) and added some regression tests (r14032).

No plans to retrofit it to 1.5 branch since it is somewhat dangerous.
