[Feature] Customisation to allow the gutter to always be displayed

[hetmankp]

It would be nice to have a customisation variable that would allow the gutter to be always displayed regardless of whether there are currently any marks to display or not. This is motivated by a desire for visual consistency between multiple tabs.

Sorry about the edits, I hit "Enter" by accident and initially posted a mostly empty issue.

:set signcolumn=yes

Thanks for the suggestion @mbward . While this means that the vim-signature :SignatureToggleSigns command no longer makes the gutter disappear, it should solve my specific problem nicely.
