vim:aucmd: Highlight selection on linewise v-mode

Browse Source 
I assumed that the selection will always be one character long when the
ModeChanged event is triggered. This is not the case when entering
linewise visual mode.

Fixes: b0688da69e ("vim:aucmd: Do not highlight selection on
       ModeChanged")
TODO: There are more ways of triggering ModeChanged to visual mode with
      a selection of more than one character (e.g. `[count]v`).

`gv` is another way of entering visual mode with a multi-char selection.
