Making it so features with DELETE state get drawn with the 'delete' rendering intent. The default symbolizer used for the delete intent has display property set to 'none'. This means features with DELETE state will be erased (if already drawn) the next time layer.drawFeature is called. If you want to have features with DELETE state drawn in a partially opaque gray (for example), create a custom style map or change the default delete symbolizer. r=crschmidt (closes #1953)
