When right clicking and pasting an image the dataTransfer object contains a file and text/html. If we paste the HTML content, the result is often a broken image. This change prioritizes pasting the file over pasting the HTML content. The gotcha is that when pasting text from MS Word, the dataTransfer object contains a File with a screenshot of the text and text/html with the actual text. We need to check if the paste is from MS Word and if so, we should paste the text instead of the screenshot.
This change prevents duplicate file pastes by checking if the paste event is a file paste before handling it. This is necessary because Safari doesn't support `beforeinput.insertFromPaste` for files, so we are handling file pastes in the paste event handler too. We need to check in the `beforeinput.insertFromPaste` event handler if the event will be also handled by the paste event handler, to avoid duplicate file pastes.
