#1702: column selector for v.distance in wxGUI doesn't work

The column selector drop down for v.distance in the GUI dialog does not
work. The same problem happens on a couple other modules, probably for the
same reason.

The reason is that the wxGUI does not know to which vector the column
option belongs if a module operates with more than one input vector map,
such as v.distance. That would require some information to be stored with
a particular column option, to what vector and layer option it belongs.
Similarly, the wxGUI does not know to which vector a layer or table option
belongs.

Changes (by wenzeslaus):
* milestone: 6.4.3 => 6.4.4
Comment:
This probably requires changes to g.parser and this will not happen now,
changing milestone.
As a temporary solution, I would suggest that combobox (drop down
selector) can be changed to simple text input field. This could avoid
confusion of the user.
