iOS: Teach edit menu popover to have a readonly mode

We should have foreseen the need for customizing this menu in 2014 when
Controls 1 needed it, but here we are: Qt 5 is "done", this still wasn't
done, and it's too late for new enum values in 5.15. So the workaround is
to add a property on the focus object that the iOS plugin can query, and
give us a menu that has Copy instead of Paste.
