[GRASS-stats] rgrass7: readVECT() issue with drivers other than ESRI Shapefile

[Roger Bivand]

Dear Markus,

You have commit rights, so please consider that route. Before committing, 
I increment Version: in rgrass7/DESCRIPTION, and run:

R CMD build rgrass7

in spgrass/pkg, creating rgrass7_0.1-*.tar.gz, then start GRASS 7 in the 
example location (NC basic), and run:

R CMD check --run-dontrun --run-donttest rgrass7_0.1-*.tar.gz

If it passes without obvious problems caused by the changes made, I 
commit.

It may be worth adding a suitable example to the help page in man/, 
guarded in case some platform doesn't have the required driver on the 
rgdal side. I think that GML and GeoJSON are problematic because of the 
binary-string-binary conversions for coordinates, but we need working 
cases to start with.

Of course, if it is more convenient for you, a diff for me to patch in 
would also be fine.

Thanks for pushing (not a git pun) this!

Best wishes,

Roger
