Subject: [PATCH] config: add 'uppercase-regex-insert'

This makes the "uppercase hint character inserts selected text"
behavior added in #1975 configurable, as it can have unexpected
behavior for some users.

It defaults to "on", preserving the new behavior of `foot`, after

Fixes #2159.

 ## Unreleased
 ### Added

+  character will insert the selected text into the prompt in `regex-copy`
+  or `show-urls-copy` mode. It defaults to `true`. ([#2159][2159]).
