Description of the new feature/enhancement

Add drag and drop file path support. Dragging a file onto the console copies the path to the current cursor location.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This should be possible using the windows API, implement DragAcceptFiles and use the WM_DROPFILES message. Implementation would be to receive the drop files message and copy the dropped file(s) path(s) to the current cursor location in the terminal.
