paste: fix normal-mode paste by different approach #10976

Forcing insert-mode after the first paste-chunk seems to work, as an
alternative to a9e2bae0eb (insert-before-cursor).

NB: Dot-repeat needs to match the original action.  Since a9e2bae0eb
changed paste to insert-before-cursor, dot-repeat must also. But that
makes dot-repeat unpleasant/unusual.

-Paste inserts text before the cursor.  Lines break at <NL>, <CR> and <CR><NL>.
+Paste inserts text after the cursor.  Lines break at <NL>, <CR>, and <CR><NL>.
 When pasting a huge amount of text, screen-updates are throttled and the
 message area shows a "..." pulse.
