Subject: merge db.describe, db.columns and v.info -c into one

Currently gathering information about the datatable is spread over db.describe,
db.columns and "v.info -c" commands. It would be practical to have them all merged
into one command with several switches controlling the amount of details printed,
say: -n for names only, -nt for names and types etc.

It might be worth considering if to add this functionality to db.table. It could
still be used for listing available tables when called plain or with -p or -s,
and when called like "db.table table=table_name -switches" would do for describing
the table. Only an idea.

Although your point about duplicate functionality is correct, v.info -c is a
nice shorthand way to get the columns in the selected layer connected to a
vector. It is the way to easily get the show column button in the GIS
Manager.
