[Bug] m.proj and r.tileset fail with PROJ 8

[wenzeslaus]

Describe the bug

• r.tileset test fails with PROJ 8 with cannot expand +init=epsg:4326 +type=crs.
• Changing +init=epsg:4326 to epsg:4326 (which AFAIU should work) fails in m.proj because m.proj requires the string to start with +.

To Reproduce

Run scripts/r.tileset/testsuite/test_r_tileset.py (Produce tiling test):

• Use GRASS compiled with PROJ 8
• Use nc_spm_full_v2alpha2/user1/.
• cd into GRASS source code.
• Run python scripts/r.tileset/testsuite/test_r_tileset.py.

Expected behavior

Syntax is accepted according to the PROJ version.

Should m.proj even try to do any CRS definition validation on its own or just make sure PROJ errors are nicely passed through?

I recommend to leave CRS definition validation entirely to PROJ because with new PROJ versions there is a number of different ways to define a CRS (a proj string is actually deprecated for CRS definition). Note that for new PROJ versions it should be upper case "EPSG:4326" while for old versions (4, 5) it should be lower case "+init=epsg:4326".
