D12529: Paste dropped files and folders as text by default

  BTW I see from the bug history that we've gone back and forth on this a lot. When it was mandatory, people wanted it gone. When it was gone, people wanted it back (tellingly, while admitting that they just wanted to paste paths 99% of the time <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66479#c9>). Once it was back, people wanted it gone again, so a configurable setting was added. Now that we have that setting, I think it makes sense to have it off by default to accelerate the common use case, while providing the option for the minority who want it.
  
  Of note, I really, really like the "drop target" idea presented in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160583:

  Implementing something like that would probably please allow us to finally everybody. Also, allowing modifier keys to change the drop behavior even when the menu is off would be good too. But until then, I think turning the menu off by default and making it available to bring back is the humane and high usability course of action.
