[gdal-dev] promote_to_multi and python API

[jratike80]

Hi,

You do not need to call ogr2ogr because there is a python library equivalent
"gdal.VectorTranslate". You can find a PROMOTE_TO_MULTI example from the
autotests

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/autotest/utilities/test_ogr2ogr_lib.py#L539
