Enable more markdown paste features in textarea editor (#35494)

Enable the [same paste
features](https://github.com/github/paste-markdown#paste-markdown-objects)
that GitHub has, notably the ability to paste text containing HTML links
and have them automatically turn into Markdown links. As far as I can
tell, previous paste features all work as expected.
