[UX] Implement a Pasted Path Conversion feature
See original GitHub issueDescription of the new feature/enhancement
Inspired by this Issue in PowerShell https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/12900 I think that we should have an experimental/opt in feature that allows a pasted bit of text like
C:\Program Files\
to auto convert to
'C:\Program Files\'
with an optional ability for on paste to auto run Test-Path via a configuration option to confirm that the path exists first for commands like Set-Location as not to throw an error (by Set-Location) when an attempt to set-location is to a non existing location.
I personally don’t think this should be added to PowerShell natively & felt that it was better added here instead.

A simpler sample might be warranted. If the pasted text resolves to a path (call
Test-Path) and has whitespace, just add quotes. This also seems more useful, e.g. when calling external commands.@SeeminglyScience wow, awesome! Can you submit a PR to add this to SamplePSReadLineProfile.ps1?
