ipy.vim understands visual mode

I took the code from https://code.launchpad.net/~pivanov/ipython/devel which has an improved vim integration in ipython. it supports both, sending one line and many lines to ipython. to do so, one would need to:
1) go to one line and hit Shift-F5
2) select many lines in visual mode and hit F9.

however, vim can execute different things upon the same key stroke, depending on if it is in visual mode or not. i remapped the keybindings a bit, now having action and setting regarding the whole file on F5/F9 and same for a line or range of lines on the same keys with Shift pressed:

<F5> run the whole file
<S-F5> run one line when in normal mode
<S-F5> run the selected range when in visual mode

<F9> toggle_send_on_save
<S-F9> toggle_reselect

Besides, I took the two functions together into one which takes a keyword.

Best,
Sebastian.
