Petascope: XML schema validation should be optional

[Dimitar Misev]

The first request to petascope typically takes a looong time, because the XML schema validator collects/parses the XML schemas. This is necessary to pass the WCS test suite for example, but in production it is just unnecessary overhead.

So this schema validation should be optional, controlled via a parameter in petascope.properties, and should be disabled by default.

You should add a parameter to petascope.properties, e.g.

xml-validation=false

Read the parameter value in ConfigManager, and then wrap the code in XMLDescribeCoverageParser (lines 58-82 afaics) in an if based on the value of the parameter.

If you can't find any of the files just let me know. wiki:PetascopeDevGuide would be useful to check out (but don't go into the old/new database schema).

Feature enhanced in changeset:c6ea95c: XML validation is not narrowed to DescribeCoverage requests, but to the whole WCS.
