RFE: Port clipboard support to a copypasta crate

[ignatenkobrain]

https://crates.io/crates/copypasta seems to be better than having multiple crates for unix/windows and that one also seems to support wayland which is quite helpful in 2020 :)

I did not check if it is easy to port or anything like that yet, hence opening an issue instead of PR.

Thanks for mentioning. clipboard seems to be abandoned, and I didn't know this was a replacement (fork).

Now I did intend to use a forking clipboard provider on Linux. I set up an extension crate to support this. Lets see if I can do the same with copypasta.

Also if you could make a "hack" mentioned in alacritty/copypasta#15 to your ext crate, would be nice. That would make ffsend experience good on wayland.

Thanks!

Just added: alacritty/copypasta#15 (comment)

Regarding wayland support, some smart function must be added to select the correct clipboard provider (X11 or Wayland) depending on it's current runtime. It currently defaults to X11 only, and this will remain the same when switching to the X11 forking provider. This is something to add to clipboard-ext as well, so I opened the following tracking issue for it: https://gitlab.com/timvisee/copypasta-ext/-/issues/1

Started implementing some stubs on the use-copypasta-ext branch.
