[GeoJSON] A first implementation

[Chris Holmes]

Ok, I threw together a quick implementation.  It's easy to change the 
details, and I probably haven't really captured discussion up to this 
point, but I thought it'd be easier to throw something up that clients 
could try to his.

http://sigma.openplans.org:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=GetCapabilities 
now has 'json' as an output format, so you can request any layer there 
with 'outputformat=json'  If anyone has a GeoServer and wants to try it 
locally I wrote it as a plug-in, I can email you the jar and you just 
drop it in.

The output can probably be summed up by:

{
   "features":[{
      "id":"alaska.1",
       "the_geom":{
         "type":"MultiPolygon",
         "members":[{
            "type":"Polygon",
            "exterior":{
               "type":"LinearRing",
               "coordinates":[-129.83,3.46,...,-95.47,21.51]
            }
         }]
       },
       "AREA":1759683.875,
       "PERIMETER":6689.362,
       "DESCRIPTION":"Alaska"
    }]
}

I left out SRS stuff (or I'm assuming a 4326 default).

Here are a few sample requests.  On the ones I include a maxfeature you 
probably want to use it or you'll get 6000 features.  If anyone wants to 
hit against more than 6000 features let me know, and I can raise it. 
The road layer has millions of features, if anyone wants to test seriously.
