correct type report in WFS DescribeFeatureType

Description 

Currently, Mapserver WFS treats all attributes as string, so all elements in the
DescribeFeatureType response are string.

It would be really nice if some real type support was added, so xsd:int or
xsd:double would be generated when applicable.

Last I heard (2004?) Daniel had some code, must be quite old now that code :-),
somehwere, which implemented type support, but he never got to commiting it.

Would this be an OGR thing?  The basic approach would be to test the types of
the columns and output them appropriately in XML Schema.

This is not specific to OGR, a good solution should work for all input drivers.

The problem is that currently MapServer doesn't carry any data type information
for the attributes. This is what I had started working on way back when...
