bug#16066: 24.3.50; rectangle-mark-mode and transient-mark-mode nil

[Michael Welsh Duggan]

emacs -Q
M-x transient-mark-mode

C-x ( C-u 10 x RET C-x ) C-u 9 C-x e
C-p C-x SPC C-SPC C-p C-p C-p C-f C-f C-f

Note that there is no way to tell that the selection is rectangular.  I
suggest that if tmm is off, that starting rectangle-mark-mode should
turn tmm on, and toggling rectangle-mark-mode off should
turn tmm back to its original state.
