vim. add function to change item state ~ reconcile

To try this, map or call the following function:
  LedgerSetTransactionState('') – removes state
  LedgerSetTransactionState('*') – sets 'checked' state
  …

The logic used to distinguish the different parts
of the first line of a transaction is rather basic
but proved to work so far.
