Remove "paste as plain text"

[Arthur-Milchior]

Thanks to @viciousAegis in #10365, "paste" work as "paste as plain text". Which mean we have two different context menu entries that have the same behavior I fear.

It would be nice to remove one of them. I'd suggest removing "paste as plain text". When there is a single feature, adding details is useless.

If eventually, "formatted text" can be transformed into an "paste as html", then it will be useful to have both of them. But since we are not even sure yet we want this feature, removing one of the two paste entry seems a no-brainer

I'd like to take this up as a continuation of the mentioned PR.

EDIT: Actually, my phone does not show the "paste as plain text" option at all. So testing would prove to be a problem. I'd rather that someone who has this feature on their phone take on the task

In case you don't know, you can try on emulator. But yeah, fine to wait for someone else. Especially with GSoC arriving soon and not a very hard project

To anyone who tries to fix this, "Paste as plain text" is a default item of the context menu of android O or newer, not exclusive to Ankidroid.
I don't know if this is feasible and appliable to all manufacters android flavors, but I'll hope it is.
If it isn't possible to remove it, maybe hiding it at the context menu "..." list would be useful IMO

Take a look at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#setCustomInsertionActionModeCallback(android.view.ActionMode.Callback) and https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(android.view.ActionMode.Callback) I believe that what you would want
