vim: Add cursor shape settings for each vim mode (#28636)

Closes #4495

Release Notes:

- vim: add cursor shape settings for each vim mode

---

Add cursor shape settings for each vim mode to enable users to specify
them.

Example of `settings.json`:

```json
{
  "vim_mode": true,
  "vim": {
    "cursor_shape": {
      "normal": "hollow",
      "insert": "bar",
      "replace": "block",
      "visual": "underline"
    }
  }
}
```

After this change is applied,

- The cursor shape specified by the user for each mode is used.
- In insert mode, the `vim > cursor_shape > insert` setting takes
precedence over the primary `cursor_shape` setting.
- If `vim > cursor_shape > insert` is not set, the primary
`cursor_shape` will be used in insert mode.
- The cursor shape will remain unchanged before and after this update
when the user does not set the `vim > cursor_shape` setting.
