Improve pasting of a string with a path/filename

Hello,

it is already possible to simply paste the text "/etc" into the remote tab and WinSCP will go to that directory. However, when you paste a string with a filename like "/etc/fstab", this leads to an error message "Error listing directory".

"/etc/fstab" is then shown as an empty directory, and when you go up one level, "fstab" is the active/selected file.

WinSCP should check if the pasted string is a directory or a file and either open the directory (as before), or open the parent path and select the file.
