Adds a clipboard library using the wlr-data-control protocol. As this uses a wlr protocol, only wlroots based compositors will be supported.
The clipboard mechanism included in the wayland core protocol only allows to get clipboard changes while the client has focus. As this lib will be used mostly in bars, which don't have focus most of the time, it is basically impossible to implement a clipboard history, as many selection events will be missed. This is fixed by using the wlroots protocol, which gets these events regardless of focus. For non-wlroots compositors I would recommend using
Gtk.Clipboard, which implements the clipboard using the core wayland protocol.
