Problem with copy/paste from word.  #68

Description

@bmaisonneuve

Hello,

When we copy a nested list form the editor to word it works correctly. But if we copy back the list from word to the editor, the nested element are not working (this can be tester on the demo of editor js).

After some digging, this is because the HTML paste into the editor is incorrect. It looks like this :

<ul>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <ul>
    <li>Black tea</li>
  </ul>
</ul>

Instead of this :

<ul>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea
    <ul>
      <li>Black tea</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

The problem is that the sub ul tag is not inside the li tag. For now I discovered the problem only with Word but there might be the problem with other copy paste. I think fixing this might be a good idea to make the copy/paste more resilient.

To fix this we can a code that fixes the HTML before calling the pasteHandler.

I'll make a pull request/
