Description
It looks like in Vi multi-line insertion mode, backspace has no effect (I can see that in pyvim for instance).
Also, tab doesn't work.

Reproduce the issue in pyvim using Vi multi-line insertion mode, checking both Backspace and Tab. Then trace the multi-line insertion handling in prompt-toolkit; the issue names no files or tests, so identify the relevant entry point and add coverage showing that both keys work.
