[QGIS-Developer] Dropping "render" checkbox from status bar

Hi Nyall / all,

You might be interested that the Ordnance Survey documentation for OS 
Features API makes use of the "render" check box in the setup when 
pulling data from their API. See 
https://osdatahub.os.uk/docs/wfs/gettingStarted under QGIS and search 
for "render".

Whether or not this is a good idea or is needed I don't know but I 
thought you might be interested that it is used here.

For the record - I am not linked with Ordnance Survey and didn't write 
the instructions, I just used them a couple of times!

Best wishes,
Nick.
