Add a Features checkbox to disable bracketed paste mode.

Browse Source 
I've had more than one conversation recently in which users have
mentioned finding this mode inconvenient. I don't know whether any of
them would want to turn it off completely, but it seems likely that
_somebody_ will, sooner or later. So here's an option to do that.

\S{config-features-bracketed paste} Disabling \i{bracketed paste} mode
By default, when you paste text into the terminal window, it's sent to
the server as terminal input, exactly as if you'd typed the same text
into the terminal window using the keyboard (except that it's all sent
at once, much faster than you could type it).
However, a terminal application can change that, by asking the
terminal to enable \q{bracketed paste mode}. In this mode, pasted data
is marked in the input stream, by sending a special control sequence
before the paste, and another one at the end.
A terminal application can use this information to treat pasted data
differently from keyboard input. For example, a terminal-based text
editor can treat the input as literal data, even if some of its
characters would normally trigger special editor functions. A shell
can treat pasted input as less trusted, in case another application
somehow sneaked a malicious shell command into your clipboard: modern
versions of \cw{bash} will highlight pasted data on the command line,
and not run it until you've confirmed it by pressing Return, even if
the pasted data contained a newline character.
In edge cases, it's possible that bracketed paste mode introduces
bigger problems than the ones it solves. So you can use this checkbox
to turn it off completely. If you do that, then PuTTY will always send
your paste data exactly as if it had been typed at the keyboard,
whether or not the server asked for bracketed paste mode.
