[GRASS5] v.db.updatecol and v.db.addcolumn

Once again, with both modules attached. Sorry...

Hello,

As I mentioned in a separate mail, I agree with Daniel that using external
(point-and-click) tools might not be the best way for GRASS attribute
management.

So, here are two small modules which interface db.execute for specific tasks,
respectively adding a column and updating a column value. Others might follow
according to need.

Any feedback welcome.

I have no idea why this failed twice, but here is the v.db.updatecol module.

Moritz,

I'd been thinking of exactly such tools in absence of an internal data
editor. Thanks for doing them. I'll try them out soon.
