Generic SQL doesn't support feature styles

[aboudreault]

Currently, when we use a sql statement to get a set of features, styles cannot be handled because they are discarded. There is only the geometry that is copied. It could be useful to copy the styles of features also, especially in this case (in a MapServer? mapfile, using STYLEITEM and DATA):

  LAYER
    # ....
    DATA "SELECT ID_PAYS,NOM_DE_PAYS,AVANCEMENT FROM Pays"
    STYLEITEM "AUTO"
    # ...
  END

I've attached the small patch. It simply copy the StyleString? of the feature like the geometry.

I have applied the patch in trunk (r16194) and 1.6 (r16195). I have also added a test in the test suite (r16193).

Thanks,
