clipd

Continuous clipboard capture for the clipd picker. Listens to Mutter's clipboard owner-changed signal and forwards every text / image change to the clipd daemon, so the picker shows your full history even when you didn't open it before copying.

Thanks for the review! v0.2.1 (just uploaded) adds a Preferences page for rebinding the picker hotkey. I'll skip the donations field for now since I haven't set up a donation account yet; happy to add it in a future release.
