Implement bracketed paste
Text pasted into Kakoune's normal mode is interpreted as command sequence, which is probably never what the user wants. Text pasted during insert mode will be inserted fine but may trigger auto-indentation hooks which is likely not what users want. Bracketed paste is pair of escape codes sent by terminals that allow applications to distinguish between pasted text and typed text. Let's use this feature to always insert pasted text verbatim, skipping keymap lookup and the InsertChar hook. In future, we could add a dedicated Paste hook. We need to make a decision on whether to paste before or after the selection. I chose "before" because that's what I'm used to. TerminalUI::set_on_key has EventManager::instance().force_signal(0); I'm not sure if we want the same for TerminalUI::set_on_paste? I assume it doesn't matter because they are always called in tandem. Closes #2465
