---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 When overriding the schema for an ODBC feature source, it needs to do a
 full schema walk to construct the logical schema component of the
 configuration document. For really large datastores, this will cause a
 long wait (or timeout).

 We can avoid doing a schema walk by prompting the user to select the
 Feature Classes to include in the configuration document. This has 2
 benefits:

  * We only request a partial schema and can tap into FDO RFC23
 enhancements where applicable
  * The feature source only exposes a partial view of the entire datastore,
 reducing the attack surface.

 Current focus will be for the ODBC editor, but can be extended to any
 other Feature Source editor that supports configuration and FDO RFC23 APIs
