feat: Alt+V keybinding for clipboard image paste

Browse source 
Alt key combos pass through all terminal emulators (sent as ESC + key),
unlike Ctrl+V which terminals intercept for text paste. This is the
reliable way to attach clipboard images on WSL2, Windows Terminal,
VSCode, and SSH sessions where Ctrl+V never reaches the application
for image-only clipboard content.

Also adds 'Paste image: Alt+V (or /paste)' hint to /help output.
