MapServer CGI lacking a method to return a legend icon...

Description

MapServer CGI interface needs a mode to retrieve a legend icon for any particular layer and class combination. There are two necessary additions. 1) A new mode, LEGENDICON and 2) a means of specifying which layer and class (propose using icon=layername,class index). The class index would be optional and would default to 0.

Committed an initial version of this (r7447). Couple of questions remain:

  • should scale be computed and applied to styles before rendering a legend (other legend generation does not)
  • how to handle certain types of groups whose presentations change with scale (I don't think this is possible and should be left up to the client requesting the icon)
