IMHO that's not ok.  If the provider doesn't support multiple iterators, the
second on should be rejected - forcing the caller to close the other one first.

As we lost the ability to do featureAtId while iterating a layer, we now have a
couple of places, where stuff behaves strange and it's not really obvious that
it's causes by a setFilterFid request killing a surrounding iteration.

Rejecting it wouldn't cure that, but at least make is show (ok, that's what the
error message does also do that now).  And unless we get the parallel
setFilterFid request back, we'll need to identify and rewrite the looping code.
