Intermediate cursor shape to show that a command is being entered

[rben01]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In Vim, if you are in normal mode and type the first letter of a multi-letter command, such as d (where Vim must wait for further input to determine the command), the cursor changes shape from block to half-block to indicate that you're in the middle of typing a command. This feature is not present in VSCodeVim. While VSCodeVim shows partially typed commands in the status bar, these are not sufficiently prominent and require looking away from the cursor.

Describe the solution you'd like
The feature, where the cursor changes from (say) block to half-block while typing a command, should be ported to VSCodeVim.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Some other prominent way of marking that you've begun but not yet finished typing a command.
