Hi Anita,

state of the "Toggle Editing" button depends on provider (driver) capabilities.
It enabled only when driver has ChangeAttributeValues capability and don't
rely on DeleteFeatures or AddFeatures capabilities.

With this approach many OGR formats that support adding or removing
features but don't allow editing existing features are not editable.
