[mapserver-dev] gml types auto implementation

[Seth G]

Hi devs,

I have a pull request at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/6137 that allows overriding of individual fields when using "gml_types" "auto"

E.g. the ogr_fid field type in the case below is changed from integer to long:

    METADATA
        "gml_include_items" "all"
        "gml_types" "auto"
        "gml_ogr_fid_type" "long" # override the default gml type of integer
    END

I believe this was the original intention of the code, but the current implementation doesn't support this.
I'd appreciate a review to see if I'm misunderstanding anything,

Thanks,

Seth
