This chould be enabled for vector and raster files.
Examples:
- Import all landcover vector files from a folder
- Import all SRTM ASC/TIFF files from a folder
a nice option would be if one could run ogr2ogr/v.patch or
gdal_merge/r.patch while importing to generate a mosaik of all the tiles
within the folder with the same step.
This should also be implemented for the GUI.
