Implement Widestring conversion for SDE

[dionw]

Seems related to changeset:14369 in which this enumeration value was removed.

Building (RHEL3, SDE 9.2) gives:

ogrsdelayer.cpp: In member function `int OGRSDELayer::Initialize(const char*, const char*, const char*)':
ogrsdelayer.cpp:224: `OFTWideString' undeclared (first use this function)
ogrsdelayer.cpp:224: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)

This is also the case for fme and idb drivers.

As OFTWideString and OFTWideStringList have been removed from ogr_api.h, I think we'll have to explicitly mention it in GDAL 1.6.0 NEWS, so that people won't be surprised in case they recompile their own drivers.

I have reintroduced the declaration for these symbols to reduce backward compatability hassles (r14410). If I'm going to bitch about other peoples backward compatability problems, I ought to take them seriously too!

[warmerdam]

I have also removed references from the fme and idb drivers in trunk (r14412). I have not altered the SDE code which looks like it needs "real" support for translating wide string fields into UTF-8 per the RFC. Turning ticket over to Howard for this.

(PS the previous change was actually r14411)

Removing obsolete milestone

[Jukka Rahkonen]

I do not believe anybody is going to implement anything for SDE any more.
