WFS request without geometries

[woodbri]

Even wrote in response to query on list:

Digging into the code, I found that setting in the LAYER.METADATA

"gml_geometries"    "none"

will do the job.

This trick is used internally in particular to implement GetPropertyValue. But digging into history, I actually see it was done on purpose for GetFeature as well per

MapServer/MapServer#1718

It is just that the documentation for it in is missing in

http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html . Doesn't seem to be tested in the regression suite as far as I can see, so lucky it still works.

Note: this trick will only work for MapServer integrated GML output. OGR outputformat doesn't honour this setting.
