Set hint statusbar text after entering hint mode

Otherwise, when entering hint mode from inside another mode, the following will
happen:

- Hint statusbar text gets set
- We enter hint mode
- That leaves e.g. insert mode
- That clears the statusbar

So we end up in hint mode with an empty status bar.

Doesn't seem to be possible to easily write a test for this, as we don't have
enough unit tests for hints and end2end tests can't easily check the statusbar
text :(
