Empty STDS objects are constructed in several temporal modules, also where it would not be necessary to have a temporal database in the current mapset or to have TGIS fully initialized. However, constructing STDS objects currently fails if TGIS is initialized with
tgis.init(skip_db_init=True).The reason is that STDS construction currently attempts to read the tgis_db_version from the database metadata, which of course fails if the database is not inizialized or does not exist.
This PR changes STDS object initialization to fetch the tgis_db_version from the tgis globals, if the DB is not inizialized. With that change STDS objects can be constructed even when tgis is initialized with tgis.init(skip_db_init=True). Methods that require access to the temporal database (like e.g., is_in_db()) will still fail as expected.
pytests for STDS construction are added as part of this PR.
