Description of the new feature/enhancement

On pasting windows style path (C:\Program Files\Git) in WSL profile, it should automatically be converted to unix style WSL path (/mnt/c/Program Files/Git)
This is a feature already available in cmder terminal emulator which I miss in Windows Terminal

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

WSL provides the "wslpath" utility which does just this. I'm not sure how feasible it is, however I'm thinking if we can listen to paste events when in WSL profile, we could identify the argument as a windows style and pass it to the wslpath utility.
