Add missing multipoint support to MITAB

Description

Previously Map Info TAB format files could read but not write multipoint geometry. This adds writing multipoint geometry to the CreateFeature code.

I apologize for the lack of test files for you. Fortunately, I have a really nice round-trip testbed that allows me to verify that the data written and the data read are the same (within a very specific set of parameters), unfortunately it's tied tightly to my software and can't be separated out for distribution.

Gaige,

the normal process for changing files belonging to MITAB is to submit them to upstream MITAB. CC'ing Daniel Morissette, the MITAB maintener.

I believe that multipoints are still not written but they are converted to many points but I am not sure. Waiting some comment from mitab folks.
