Bug#684224: ghex: indicate insert/overstrike mode

[Ian Bruce]

Package: ghex
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Apparently ghex can be switched between insert and overstrike edit modes
either by the <INSERT> key or by an option in the [Edit] menu.

However, there is no visible indication in the main window which of
these modes is active, which can cause mistakes. Most other programs
indicate this with a change in the cursor, or in some other more
explicit way.

Suggestion: move the "Insert Mode" checkbox from the [Edit] menu to the
main window, beside the already-existing "Show little endian decoding"
and "Show unsigned and float as hexadecimal" checkboxes. Failing that,
at least change the cursor shape.
