The QgsVectorLayer::select/::nextFeature combo now includes added
features, while the layer is editable.  And one could tell existing
and added features apart by looking at their featureId, which is
negative for added features.

There might be changed attributes or changed geometries for the added
features, which might not be uptodate in the added feature list - so
that might be an issue.
