feat(evidence): paste screenshot directly from clipboard (Ctrl+V)

- Global document paste listener captures image/* items from clipboard
- Auto-generates filename: screenshot-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.png
- Brief cyan pulse animation confirms the paste was detected
- Shows image preview before uploading (max-h 192px, object-contain)
- Drop zone hint now says 'Drag & drop, browse, or Ctrl+V to paste'
- Works with any source: OS screenshot (PrintScreen/Cmd+Shift+4),
  browser Inspect screenshots, any image copied to clipboard
