Updating grid interpolation files in Transformation definition unsupported.

Description

The traditional CS_MAP protection criteria has been applied to the Geodetic Transformation dictionary, thus preventing users from modifying the grid interpolation files in a distribution system. As these specification were in user editable Geodetic Data Catalog (.gdc) files in previous releases, this amounts to a regression.

The protection system embedded in the CoordinateSystem Dictionary facility (templatized) needs to be adjusted to allow users to modify distribution and user protected transformation definitions.

Corrected witrh revision #5377

The protection system embedded in the CoordinateSystem? Dictionary facility (templatized) was adjusted to allow users to modify distribution and user protected transformation definitions.

An extra parameter has been added to the standard dictionary template functions which enables the calling module to turn off protection. These template functions are only used internal to the API. No changes to the exposed API.

Restriction of editing only the grid interpolation file names, directions, and order thereof is accomplished inside of CS-MAP. Thus, for all transformations other than those of the Grid Interpolation type remains in effect within the MapGuide CoordinateSystem API.
