The new editor.formatOnPaste setting in vscode 1.9 works when pasting with ctrl-v with not in vim mode's p, which should use that setting too to automatically format when pasting.

Research direction
Investigate how vim mode currently handles paste operations in src/actions/commands/actions.ts. The goal is to trigger `editor.formatOnPaste` when pasting via 'p' in normal mode. Check existing keybindings and see if a hook exists for paste events. Review comments on issue #1269 for any additional context or suggested implementation details.
