fxmif: MapInfo MID/MIF Files

A file-based interface, converting to nodes, polylines, polygons, arcs and text with or without column attributes.

MapInfo files contain fully-defined symbology, so the default fx symbology is never used.

The projection and units of measure of MapInfo data are known and are set automatically by the interface.
