Flycheck unnecessary line marks

[xged]

Flycheck line marks (dots at the left side) are unnecessary and distracting at least to my eyes. Lower underscores are enough IMO. Couple that with difficulty to configure Flycheck (casual) warnings and absence of #2134 you usually get an ugly looking buffer.

I propose to improve the flycheck fringe indicator support in spacemacs with a layer variable syntax-checking-fringe-indicators taking 3 possible values nil, default and dot.

I was thinking of looking into this for another reason: in bzg-big-fringe-mode, the fringe is widened so the flycheck marks cover ~25% of the screen.

Anyways, this does not look too hard to achieve; all the neccessary changes are just in spacemacs/contrib/syntax-checking/packages.el, I guess.

Does dot mean that only the dot should show? I imagine just setting the values fringe-bitmap and fringe-face to nil should remove the flycheck fringe completely.

After playing around it seems as trivial as I outflined above both to achieve dot and nil.

@xged Set flycheck-indication-mode to nil to prevent Flycheck from creating fringe indicators. See Reporting results in the Flycheck manual for more information.

That seems to close this issue. :-)

@endrebak I mean no offense, but please do not guess. Please read the manual: Flycheck already provides an option for this purpose.
