add support for the ClassNames in hfa driver

[route@…]

I've made some modification to the HFA driver for handling the class names 
stored into the img files
the modified files are (from gdal-cvs-20050404)
hfa.h line 207
hfadataset.cpp lines 190,488,508,650-714,736,995,1082-1088

Oh, I've seen that it was already registered as #792 !

This implementation does not seem to work with the test file I have at:

  http://home.gdal.org/~warmerda/classnames.img

However, it does work with another file I have received from ESRI.  

This patch does not provide any mechanism to write category names to newly
created files. 

After review of the patch, it seems to duplicate work that I want to do 
as part of my descriptor table effort, so instead of applying it I think
I will leave this bug report open as a reminder to myself to return category
names when I do the descriptor table work.

Frank,

I'm interested to transfer attributes to HFA, e.g. from BSQ.
While RAT support seems to be implemented in HFA, the
attributes do not arrive:

I am not sure if they should or if support is not yet completed.
In the long run we would like to transfer GRASS raster attributes (category
labels) to HFA files.

Best regards
