Disable consistency graphs for some habits

Disable consistency graphs for some habits

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

When I am trying to learn a new habit, I often write it in Org Mode.  So I
have many entries like:

*** TODO Relax: talk, read book, shower or pray
    SCHEDULED: <2016-11-28 Mon 21:30 ++1d>
    :PROPERTIES:
    :ID:       2ff41cfe-156f-4870-a4ef-991cc2cc986c
    :CREATED:  [2016-06-16 Thu 13:23]
    :STYLE:    habit
    :END:

That one is to remember me to quit the computer at 21:30.

I set them up as org-habit habits for the following desirable features:
- Only show on the agenda for today, not for other days.
- Appear at the end of the agenda for today.
- Hide when I type K.

However, I do not want consistency graphs for most of them, because I don't
want to waste space by enabling logging for them all (they are many).  org-
habit lacks the feature to cleanly disable consistency graphs.  I have
globally disabled them by force through the following customizations:
     '(org-habit-following-days 0)
     '(org-habit-graph-column 90)
     '(org-habit-preceding-days 0)

But this affects all habits.  Could you implement a feature to disable
consistency graphs for a subset of the habits?  Some possibilities:
1. Allow a new value for the STYLE property: "graphless_habit"
2. Automatically disable consistency graphs for entries where logging is
   disabled, or for those which currently lack logs.

What about using a regular repeater for that instead of an habit? For
example, first point is solved using
`org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all' (or
`org-agenda-show-future-repeats' in master).  

With a custom agenda view, you can make them appear last. You may simply
use another agenda view to remove them (last point).

"habits without a graph" really sounds like "habits without habits"
considering the whole library is about the graph.

But org-agenda-show-future-repeats affects /all/ repeaters.  I want some
important repeaters (such as regular meetings) to appear on every matching date
as normal.

But toggling with K is more practical because it preserves current filters.
