Experimental: map S-Tab to delete one indent

Seems friendly (similar to vsode and other editors), harmless (doesn't
seem to break anything as S-Tab normally acts same as Tab), and plays
nicely with visual mode S-Tab mapping to shift selection leftwards.

Idea from @samjwill, see tpope/vim-sensible#173

FIXME: make pumvisible() aware expr map trigger any existing S-Tab map
