When visual-line-mode is turned on, I doubt that anyone would want to
turn off line-move-visual (although I see no reason to disallow that,
perhaps there's some obscure use case where that would be of use).
However, having line-move-visual on or off when visual-line-mode is
off is a matter of personal preference.

IOW, line-move-visual has value even if the user doesn't use
visual-line-mode.

So I think it should still be a defcustom, to allow customization
independent of visual-line-mode.
