Io to clipboard

[nipunbatra]

Added documentation for to_clipboard().
Closes #3784

[hayd]

Is it worth adding a note in the APIs about system requirements aka #3837 (not if below pull is merged.)

[jreback]

you don't need to asssign here...just pd.read_clipboard() (its like ipython, will just print the results)

also...these can all be in a single ipython:: python directive

and giong to need to change the note to conform with #3848

[nipunbatra]

Do i need to send another PR? or can this be edited?

[hayd]

@nipunreddevil If you update your banch that will be reflected here.

[nipunbatra]

Updated to put code in one ipython block and note reflects documentation from docstring.

should be xclip

[nipunbatra]

Sure. Correcting that. Had also by mistake put some text at page top.
Removing that too.
@hayd Had copied from #3848, so there also "xlip" needs to be changed to
"xclip" in the docstring :)

Thanks for spotting the typo!

[nipunbatra]

Fixed the typo. The docs still take ever so long to build!

[jreback]

you should rebase on master, that prob was fixed a few commits ago

git co master
git pull
git br yourbranch --set-upstream master
git co yourbranch
git pull --rebase
