 DBF driver in GRASS 7 reports 'double' even if decimals is zero, e.g.

 {{{
  D2/5:   DBFFieldType 2
 D3/5: add_column(): tab = 2, type = 3, name = cat, width = 11, decimals =
 0
 }}}

 {{{
 DOUBLE PRECISION|cat
 }}}

 Attached patch forces 'integer' if 'double' with decimal = 0 is detected.
 I am not sure if it's right approach.
