Hi

related with issue: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16803
I strongly agree with Nyall, Pedro VenĂ¢ncio and Giovanni Manghi to
remove this feature.
The rational is:

1) fix seems hard to find (QgsRasterLayer::previewAsImage is triggered
4/6 times and at aqvery refresh => not useful)... hard bu not
impossible.
2) hard to find utility in a so little preview
3) who want to spend dev time on fixing it is welcome :)
4) Avioid crash is better than a having a not so important feature.

I'll prepare a PR to remove only the option into "Settings ->
Options... -> Canvas & Legend -> "Create raster icons (may be slow)"
default is Off.

any opinion?
