Picker: Skip dynamic query debounce for pastes (#11211)

Pastes are probably the last edit one means to make before the query
should run so it doesn't need to be debounced.
This makes global search much snappier for example when accepting the
history suggestion from the '/' register or pasting a pattern from the
clipboard or a register.
