Create a CoverageReader interface and implementation
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOTK-58
                 URL: http://jira.geotoolkit.org/browse/GEOTK-58
             Project: Geotoolkit
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Coverage
    Affects Versions: 3.05
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.06


We need to define a {{CoverageReader}} interface and create an implementation which use the [SpatialMetadataFormat|http://www.geotoolkit.org/apidocs/org/geotoolkit/image/io/metadata/SpatialMetadataFormat.html] information for constructing the corresponding [GeoAPI|http://www.geoapi.org] objects. Only one implementation should be suffisient for every kind of {{ImageReader}} defined in Geotoolkit.org, except for a few special cases (which should need only minor extensions to the common implementation anyway).

Actually this task should not be very hard, given that the most tedious parts happen in the {{IIOMetadata}} stuff below this Coverage I/O layer. Furthermore we can pick a significant amount of code from the PostGrid database engine (a module of the Constellation-SDI project).
