[rfc][icedtea-web][policyeditor] Disable "paste" until "copy" is performed

[Andrew Azores]

Hi,

The "Copy" in question copies the permissions for a codebase in the PolicyEditor. Then when you go to "Paste", it asks you for a new codebase URL, and creates a new entry in the editor with that URL but all of the permissions duplicated from the codebase that you copied. So there isn't really any way to "copy it from somewhere else" as it doesn't actually use the system clipboard, just a "clipboard" within PolicyEditor.

Thanks,

Andrew A
