For a WFS FeatureType layer, we should be able to store the maximum features that should be used to query the layer.
A WFS layer can potentially contain a very large dataset that is impractical to download to a client, and/or too large for a client's renderer.
The max number of features may be different for different layers. A point layer may easily handle 1000 features, where a polygon layer may have problems with 100 features. So the context should be able to recommend the MaxFeatures that a WFS query should use.
