#1723: G_OPT_DB_COLUMNS does not allow input of multiple column names

G_OPT_DB_COLUMNS (gis.h) is supposed to indicate multiple column names can
be entered into a field. But only single column names are actually
accepted. Check out v.out.ascii for an example. I'm not sure WHERE the
actual problem lies--in gis.h, in g.parser, in forms.py (no reference to
G_OPT_COLUMNS in the latter however), or somewhere else.
Wherever this is defined for the interface, G_OPT_M_DATATYPE could
probably be fixed too. It is supposed to bring up a list of GRASS
datatypes, but does nothing AFAICT.

fixed in 'turek' in r55651.

This should be probably reported as separate ticket.

What is the problem with this element? Check for eg. `g.list`, check boxes
seem to be fine.

Comment(by cmbarton):
I recompiled yesterday r55705. This still does not work. To test, try to
output firestations from the nc_08 demo dataset to an ASCII file using
v.out.ascii. The column tool shows an empty pulldown. The dropbox appears
but it is blank.
