Improvements to Vim support for visual mode.

Patch by Sebastian Busch.

Note: this patch was originally for the 0.10 series, I (fperez) minimally
fixed it for 0.11 but it may still require some tweaking to work well with
the refactored codebase.

Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/460359
