Bug importing RASTER GDAL terrain models with .prj extra file

[escolano]

Using Files->Import->RASTER GDAL...
when the file to be imported has an extra file .prj (to describe its projection) it is raised this error

Error (l7567): RuntimeError PROJ: proj_create_from_database: Cannot find proj.db
STACK:
RuntimeError PROJ: proj_create_from_database: Cannot find proj.db

This is because GDAL and PROJ libraries now require to set the environment variable PROJ_LIB to find 'proj.db' (its database of projections and coordinate systems)

To fix the problem in GiD 16.1.5d or 16.0.5d can simply unzip this file

inside
<GiD>\scripts\osgeo
e.g.
C:\Program Files\GiD\GiD 16.1.5d\scripts\osgeo

In next GiD versions this problem will be solved without this fix.
