#1011: [raster] replace "srs" parameter of ST_AsGDALRaster function with "srid"

 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis raster  |     Version:  trunk

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 This is to replace the "srs" function parameter ST_AsGDALRaster and any
 wrapper functions that make use of that parameter to "srid".  In doing so,
 this will make these functions consistent to other functions involving
 spatial reference systems, such as ST_Transform.

 Also, this will eliminate ST_srtext as a user-function and instead
 transform it to be a non-user function _ST_srtext.  Another side affect of
 this change is the reduction of function variations for ST_AsGDALRaster
 and ST_AsTiff.

 The behavior of the "srid" parameter is as follows:

 - if a valid srid is provided, the underlying C function will fetch the
 associated srtext

 - if the "srid" is NULL, the the underlying C function will fetch the
 srtext of the raster being coverted

 - if the "srid" is -1, the outputted GDAL raster will not have any spatial
 reference system embedded (assuming the format permits it)
