fix(tmux): fix NORMAL/VISUAL mode indicators

Browse Source 
The #{?pane_in_mode,...} inline conditional was getting mangled by
oh-my-tmux's awk/sed pipeline that processes tmux_conf_theme_status_right.

Fix: use #{@mode_indicator} user-option in status_right, driven by:
  - bind Enter  → sets NORMAL indicator (green) on copy-mode entry
  - bind v      → sets VISUAL indicator (blue) on selection start
  - bind y/Esc  → clears indicator on copy/exit
  - pane-mode-changed hook → clears indicator when mode exits

Also fixed: encoding artifacts in status_right, missing bullet separator.
