#3368: Make Protocol.WFS work with just featureType and featurePrefix
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------

     Type:  feature   |      Status:  new         
 Priority:  minor     |   Milestone:  2.12 Release
Component:  general   |     Version:  2.10

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 The {{{OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer}}} convenience function can
 easily fail, because it cannot guess the {{{featureNS}}} and
 {{{geometryName}}}. The GML parser easily can after #3367. To make a first
 query with the commonly used BBOX filter (e.g. when a BBOX strategy is
 used), the BBOX filter needs to omit the geometryName if it is unknown.
 This is compliant with the WFS 1.1.0 spec, and also works in GeoServer
 with WFS 1.0.0. The result can then be parsed with the GML format, which
 can configure the {{{geometryName}}} and {{{featureNS}}} for subsequent
 transactions or queries.
