[Qgis-developer] Virtual Fields - Allow adding fields out of edit mode

It should be "always on" for providers that do not allow to add
attributes. For others both options always work and I prefer to keep the
previous behavior (without broad agreement that this should be changed,
if you convince some people I may change my mind ;-) ).

Done!
