Describe the bug
You can currently copy arbitrary text into the . register. This is not how vim behaves.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Insert some text
  2. Use :reg to verify the inserted text is in the . register
  3. Copy some other text into the register with ".yw, for instance
  4. Use :reg to verify the copied text is in the . register

Expected behavior
Step 3. above should be a no-op, and in step 4., the originally inserted text should show in :reg

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.2.0
  • VSCode version: 1.32.3
  • OS: Windows 10
