wms capabilities and mapfile scale correspondence

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

The MAXSCALE and MINSCALE objects in the LAYER object, if set, are
visible in the output WMS GetCapabilities XML response in the
Layer/ScaleHint/@min and Layer/ScaleHint/@max attributes, which provides
a client a good 'hint' of what scale the layer will view for.
