[ale] Vim for hex editing

I avoid editing binaries as it's always been better to rebuild.

However, I hit a problem where changing a compiled-in version number was the solution.

vim is the only editor I use.

Open the file in vim then switch to hex editor with

:%!xxd

And exit with

:%!xxd -r

You must have xxd installed for this to work obviously.
