DXF block geometry merging annoying sometimes

Description
By default the DXF driver attempts to merge all the geometries of a BLOCK into a GEOMETRYCOLLECTION[] for inlining etc. This has the nice property of keeping them together as a single feature in the resulting layer but many applications (such as QGIS) have trouble dealing with geometry collections.
It would be desirable to have a way to produce a feature for each entity in the block, much like we already have to do for text entities in a block.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I have added a configuration variable to avoid merging geometries into collections for a block based on the DXF_MERGE_BLOCK_GEOMETRIES config option. Only in trunk (r22011) for now. It might be worth considering making this the default behavior.
