Recommend paste service for large text/codeblocks

See https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/vergroessern-button-bei-eingefuegten-codeblock/#post-9021555

If a long text/large codeblock is detected we can show a hint to use a paste service instead.

IMO this could even go further to open an paste automatically, if many lines are pasted. Then instead of the pasted content, a simple link is inserted in the post.

There exists a draft for JS: See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/paste#Modify_the_clipboard_content_before_pasting for an example. Browser support seems to be ok on the first look, but has to be evaluated in more detail https://caniuse.com/#feat=clipboard

A very delicate matter: Reading/Hijacking the clipboard (and - optionally - pasting it publicly) can be considered rude.

The issue is not priority at the moment and I wouldn't invest a lot of time into solving it at the moment.

It could be also interpreted rude to put 20000 lines of log into a forum post… As an compromise, it could be possible to shown an dialogue, if a paste should be created automagically.

And, yeah, i personally would not do it now (thus, i put it in the backlog). Nevertheless, some info or inspiration if someone wants to pick it, should be ok. :)

Another indicator we can use is the ratio N('\n')/N('\n\n') or the other way round.
