Bash-RSI

Allow folks who use vi mode in bash to intermarry with those folks who use emacs mode. This approach was inspired by tpope's vim-rsi which brings emacs bindings to vim.

This config allows setting the bash readline mode to vi, but keeps all the shortcuts from emacs mode intact.

In addition it sets the cursor to a vertical bar(❙) when in the hybrid emacs-vi insert mode, and a block cursor(▮) when in vi command mode.
