looks good, although I would improve it in a way that there is a status
on the row. That is, we can have a 'updatable' field on GdaRow, and when
you call get_upodatable_row, that flag is set to TRUE (being FALSE in
all other cases). Thus, providers can mark the rows that can be updated.

Also, I dont think we need the get_uopdatable_value function, since the
updatable values will be the ones contained in the updatable rows
returned by get_updatable_row.
