Mouse cursor = "wait" on WFS loading

[fvanderbiest]

This patch allows for the change of mouse cursor when it is over the map div. Here, it is used to show a wait cursor on WFS loading.

patch to get a waiting mouse cursor on wfs loading

Oups, I noticed a typo in the patch ... You have to replace cursor = 'default' with cursor = 'auto' in the "default" section for the switch in setCursor.

This patch needs tests: I want to see that if we call 'setCursor', it actually sets it. (The usage of it in the WFS layer is harder to test -- I'm willing to let that one go.)

CSS class names please.

Instead of handling this type of behavior differently in different places - and instead of burying style declarations in the code, I'd like to see this handled with CSS class names.

If we had Util functions for addStyleClass and removeStlyeClass (or some similarly named) - then we could let users (or application developers) decide what they wanted those classes to look like (maybe they want their own cute icons for the cursor). By using multiple class names, we can add a class name that corresponds to just the cursor style - remove that class name and the style returns to the default.

Bumping to 2.6 pending change to use css

Mass ticket move to 2.7 post dev meeting.

As Uz kindly reminded me, this deserves the same treatment as #1484 (I believe). Both could use something like  http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/sandbox/topp/almanac/lib/OpenLayers/BaseTypes/Element.js#L126

Will check if there is a ticket for that now. Didn't see one - #1607 now.

once #1607 is in, then the correct way to do this will be to listen to the events on the layer (startloading, endloading, or whatever they are called) and then change the map div's class name to be loading (or whatever).
