multiline-paste-dialog with three buttons

C++ newbie, feedback welcome.

Questions for reviewers:

  1. Is the new button text ("Strip line breaks") acceptable? Should any of the other text in the dialog be changed?
  2. Is the stripping code appropriate? Should we trim the end of the string as well (I'm not sure if there's a preferred trim function)?

Validation Steps Performed

Manually tested all three buttons with multiline text pastes using \r\n, \r and \n in PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Bash (WSL).
