Direct OGR read access

Capability to read OGR layers directly without linking them via v.external. Example:

v.info map=~/shapefiles/@OGR layer=busstopsall
v.extract input=PG:dbname=nc_spm_08@OGR layer=busstopsall where="STREET_1 = 'William Moore Dr.'" output=b1

List of modules which supports direct OGR read access ((*) indicates work in progress):

• v.info
• v.db.connect - r39538
• v.extract (*) - r39621
• v.db.select (*) - r39556
