🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The new tempo-marking paste behavior has no regression test that reaches TextBase::paste and asserts both the pasted BPM/follow-text transition and the ordinary-text no-op. Add a focused paste test covering those states so a future change to the cross-file detection or undo transaction cannot silently restore the stale playback tempo.

In `@src/engraving/editing/textedit.cpp` around lines 997 - 1007, Add a focused
regression test that exercises TextBase::paste for tempo text, asserting the
BPM/follow-text transition when pasting a metronome mark and confirming ordinary
text leaves playback tempo unchanged. Cover both followText states and verify
the undo transaction preserves the expected behavior.
