fix(nvim): keep prompt icon when clearing input with cc/S#615
Merged

In prompt_vim_mode the input bar is a prompt buffer whose prompt icon is protected text at the start of the line. A normal-mode cc/S deletes the whole line including the prompt, so Neovim re-inserts the icon as plain literal text that has to be backspaced out. Map cc and S to reset the line to just the prompt and re-enter insert at the right column, so clearing the query leaves the prompt intact.

Pass remap=true so existing user mappings of cc/S still resolve through our handler, per review feedback.
