Show current mode when vi_mode is enabled

Feature

What the title said, there should be something(Maybe a right prompt or bottom toolbar?) displaying current editing mode when vi_mode is enabled. No need for it to have the entire name, I for insert, N for normal, etc.

Reason

It's nice to know which mode you're in so you don't accidentally mess up your command.

Examples

These are screenshots of my fish prompt that could serve as inspiration.

Having it in the bottom right sounds good

Turns out prompt_toolkits vi_mode implementation is a bit funky, contacted the developer, this issue is on hold until a response.

Developer hasn't responded and I doubt it's gonna happen now, closing issue.
