Open adf raster file as a directory

adf raster files are Arc/Info Binary Grid. This format is the internal binary format for Arc/Info Grid, and takes the form of a coverage level directory in an Arc/Info database. To open the coverage select the coverage directory, or an .adf file (such as hdr.adf) from within it. If the directory does not contain file(s) with names like w001001.adf then it is not a grid coverage. This mean that if a user open an adf file, it is the same as open the directory containing this adf file. To do it, this patch replaces file path and name by its directory. Funded by Ifremer
