Description
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
Start by tracing how ctrl-v and Vim-mode p handle paste operations in the VS Code extension, then check where the editor.formatOnPaste setting is read or exposed. Done means Vim-mode p applies the same automatic formatting behavior as ctrl-v when the setting is enabled, with coverage for both paste paths.
