[GRASS-dev] change linear back to bilinear in grass7 ?

[Helena Mitasova]

As we are going through the class material I have noticed that in GRASS7
in r.resample.interp method bilinear was changed to linear and bicubic was changed to cubic.

I would like to ask whether it would be OK to change it back for two reasons:
- consistency with 6.4 (minimizes changes required in tutorials, scripts, assignments etc.)
- bilinear interpolation is not linear, (see the relevant text in wikipedia  you need to scroll down to find the relevant section)

Also, the change to linear and cubic has created additional inconsistencies in manual pages of
r.resamp.bspline
v.sample
v.drape
which have bicubic or bilinear in the examples and the text, but cubic and linear in the command SYNOPSIS parameters.
