 G7:r.contour always creates attribute table, although the vectors are 3D
 vectors and the height/value is stored as ''z'' coordinate.

 The following modules have (consistently) `-t` flag:

  * G7:v.to.points
  * G7:v.overlay
  * G7:r.to.vect
  * G7:v.in.lidar
  * G7:v.in.dxf
  * G7:v.voronoi
  * G7:v.in.ogr
  * G7:v.select

 {{{
 -t
     Do not create attribute table
 }}}

 It is bit strange that `-t` means ''no attribute table'' but at least it
 is consistent (at least among these modules).

 This can improve #1626 if it is still an issue and it will be much faster
 then creating attribute table (even when r58804 (write attributes in one
 commit) is considered).
