Epoch limitation in GeoPackage WKT Extension #686

Description

@jamesresslernga

Supporting the use of Epoch in GeoPackages for the DGIWG GeoPackage profile (to be edition 1.1), related to issue #675, found a limitation that could be addressed by the SWG.

Because the gpkg_spatial_ref_sys has a single row for each srs_id (primary key) in a GeoPackage, the definition of Epoch for a GeoPackage is limited to one Epoch date per CRS. Without using multiple srs_id values, multiple epoch dates for gridded data with the same srs_id must be stored in distinct GeoPackage files.

How would uses embed 2 different elevation tile matrix sets with the same CRS that were collected at two different time? Could be necessary it the difference is significant number of years.
