Fix pasting images into browser

gitlab-qa-bot requested to merge github/fork/m-a-r-c-o/paste-raw-image-feature into master

Created by: m-a-r-c-o

This patch binds the handlePaste() function to the clipboardData paste event.

Currently firefox/safari do not fully support clipboardData. Therefore on those browsers the clipboard contents is pasted as plain/text and a message is displayed within the alert area.

This is a possible solution for #7392 (closed)

I only tested on: Firefox (linux) -> NOT working Chrome (linux) -> working Firefox (Mac) -> NOT working Safari (Mac) -> NOT working

Tomorrow I will test on Windows (Firefox, Chrome, IE 10)

For Firefox there is currently some work in progress to get it working too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=891247

Before this will be merged I probably have to change something. Please review and comment. It would be great to get this merged because the pasting of images is a great feature.
