Users may be pasting text from languages that are not in their configured spell check rules.

We shouldn't show a bunch of red squiggles when this happens.

Attachment: Bug 2003358 - Disable spellcheck by default in about:translations r=#translations-reviewers

This commit ensures that spellcheck is disabled by default
in the about:translations source textarea. Users may be pasting
text from languages for which their spellcheck is not configured,
and we should not show red-squiggle underlines when this occurs.

Reproduced the initial issue on Firefox 146 on Windows 11, by translating a Portuguese text in about:translations.

Verified as fixed using Firefox 147.0b3 on Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04 and macOS 14 - red-squiggle underlines no longer appear under the text.
