[GRASS-dev] should G_raster_map_type() use G_find_cell2() ?

That sounds dangerous. I've added a new fn called G_raster_map_type2()
which checks the map type in a non-name modifying way. (akin to
G_find_cell2(), G_find_vector2(), G_find_file2(): these already exist
for the same reason)

map existence and type are checked in two separate functions; *mapset
is never returned to main(). The "@mapset" was getting clobbered in
both. Testing a copy of the string seems highly inefficient.
