[Bf-cycles] Fwd: Viewport render keyboard shortcut + minor Cycles viewport interface consideration

[Brecht Van Lommel]

The combined buttons looks nice but doesn't help avoiding the
limitation. Anyway, is mostly a matter of me spending some time to
make pause/resume a general feature of the render engine API instead
of just doing it with this simple button.
