When setting locations at high latitudes, the meridians / parallels
spacing ratio tend to be small. Find attached an example of a lcc grid
with projection at high lats (lcc_geogrid.png).
In order to have a better output we could introduce parameters for
optional separate ew and ns (geo)grid sizing.
Also it will be important to set a minimum/maximum for grid drawing, so we
can avoid cluttering the maps as soon as meridians become too dense (e.g.
in polar areas).

btw, I just fixed d.grid + geogrid longitude label placement in all
branches for meridians which deviated to grid-north by many degrees (e.g.
zoomed-out LCC projections).

new direction= option added in devbr6 r57699 to allow only drawing east-
west or north-south grid lines. run the module twice with two different
size intervals to get the custom effect. I'll try to find a few minutes to
port it to g7 in the morning.
for drawing fiducial marks it would be better to have the size= option
optionally take a second parameter, but I don't like overloading the
parameter definition like that very much, and adding two new size_ew= and
size_ns= options like g.region does for res= clutters the option list and
Required-> parser setting, so isn't great either.
