Changes (by strk):

  * summary:  ST_SplitGeometry => ST_Split

Comment:

 Contract changed. We always return a collection but of as many elements as
 required to represent all components of output.

 Currently line-by-point, line-by-line and poly-by-line splitting are
 supported and
 the function name is ST_Split.

 Unsupported are all MULTI* and GEOMETRYCOLLECTION, but I'd like to add
 support for them
 too. The use case I have in mind is in conjunction to the ST_WrapX
 function proposed
 in ticket #454 (still not convinced about that function name:)
