Pasting text using crtl+v onto a text should only create a link if an URL is passed

[mattermod]

Pasting text using crtl+v onto a text always creates a markdown link. This can be annoying if the user simply wants to overwrite the existing text with the pasted one.

Instead, a markdown link should only get created if the pasted text is an actual URL. Otherwise, the pasted text should overwrite the existing one.
