Refactor HTML insert to use the DOM Range API #436

The content script that inserts an HTML-formatted clipping into a rich text editor uses document.execCommand("insertHTML"...), which is deprecated[1].

Unfortunately, this improvement doesn't resolve the issue with pasting HTML-formatted clippings into rich text editors that use the CKEditor library (issue #379).
