[Community] OWSLib - Access WMS attribution info

[dominic.lowe at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi David,

Many thanks for the patch. I will look into putting this into the trunk.

re: the tests - yes they are broken... I'd better look into that. Actually I think in most cases the servers have changed their responses and the tests not updated to match.

Cheers,
Dom

Ignoring some test failures, here is a patch for the attribution 
feature.  Attribution is presented like so:

 >>> wms['opengeo:poi'].attribution
     {'url': 
'http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/data/release/data/', 
'logo_size': (353, 112), 'logo_url': 
'http://geoserver.org/s/1518/25/0.1/_/download/resources/com.atlassian.confluence.themes.geoserver%3Ageoserver/chrome/geoserver-logo.png', 
'title': 'GeoServer Sample Data'}

I am attaching the full patch.
