Paste URL/regex selection to prompt if key is uppercase.

In copy-regex/show-urls-copy mode, if the last input character was
uppercase, copy the selection to the clipboard _and_ paste it. This is
useful for taking a file path from a command output:(log, git, test
failure, etc.) and using it in another command.

This is inspired by the behavior of copy mode in wezterm:
https://wezterm.org/quickselect.html

I could have made it check every character in the hint, but it seemed
fine to assume that if the last character was uppercase, the user
wanted this behavior.

Closes #1975.
