Looks like the only reason this is kept is so old files can be
correctly loaded - this was set if the side of a face would draw an
edge (before blender had edge data).
The flags are used by the rendering engine but in the VlakRen struct,
unrelated to modifiers.

So for writing a modifier you can just ignore the edcode flag.
