Typing `d` and then `l` runs `vi-delete` and then `vi-forward-char`. However,
by default, `vi-forward-char` is configured to accept the suggestion. So in
that case, the suggestion was being accepted and the cursor set to the end of
the buffer before the deletion was run.
The reason the user doesn't see the suggestion accepted is that `vi-delete`
doesn't finish until the movement widget is run, so we're already inside of a
`modify` when `accept` is called. `modify` unsets `POSTDISPLAY` before calling
the original widget so when we get to the accept function, `POSTDISPLAY` is
empty and thus accepting the suggestion is a no-op.
The fix is to make sure we reset the cursor to the correct place before running
the original widget.
We skip the test for versions of zsh below 5.0.8 since there was a bug in
earlier versions where deleting the last char did not work.

Specific case where this matters is following:
Be in vi insert mode with some text in the buffer and the cursor at the
end of the buffer. Press `esc` to trigger `vi-cmd-mode widget`, then
before the cursor moves (KEYTIMEOUT), press `h` to trigger
`vi-backward-char` widget. When `vi-cmd-mode` original widget exits,
KEYS_QUEUED_COUNT will be non-zero and the suggestion will be lost.
