Instead of using GtkClipboard and handling everything ourselves, we now
put GtkTextBuffer into the GdkClipboard and register (de)serializers for
text/plain.
Also make clipboard_claim() a vfunc so backends can override it.
Because the whole operation a vfunc, backends have the option of adding
code before the actual claim is done and potentially even fail or do
something after the successful claim.
Instead of having just one function that has the gtype and mime type as
out arguments, have 3 functions: 1 that finds any match, 1 that finds a
GType match and one for a mime type match.
This makes the API way more convenient to use.
This requires implementing a "pipe" so we can have 2 streams running:
contentprovider => serializer => outputstream
inputstream => deserializer => reader
And the pipe shoves the data from the outputstream into the inputstream.
GdkContentProvider is the object that represents local data in the
clipboard.
This patch only introduces the object and adds the clipboard properties,
it does not yet provide a way for the actual implementations to access
it.
The only access that is implemented is the local shortcut GValue access.
(1) Try all passed in formats in order if one of them fails.
(2) Don't blindly accept all formats, make sure they are mime types
(3) Add a bunch of special non-mime types that plug converters to
get to mime types
This allows us not just to pass any mime type to the read function, but
it also makes it possible to pass multiple mime types and the clipboard
can then try them in order until it finds a supported one.
This is so far not implemented though.
Turns out, way too many async operations are implemented by running the
sync operation in a thread. The easiest solution is to support that is
to use a GAsyncQueue for the buffers and deadlock if called from the
main thread.
(1) Turn X11 clipboard event handling into a regular filter function
(2) Maintain a timestamp in the clipboard, so we can pass it when
querying selections.
No idea why it's here, the hash table can store any kind of data,
there's no reason why it wouldn't be able to store an old X string type.
Might be a holdout from the old days, when strings were handled in
a special way (stored directly in the clipboard?).

This prevents GTK from throwing a bunch of warnings when it tries
to get drag source window -> screen of that window -> ipc widget for that screen,
and then tries to attach a signal handler to that widget.
Specifically, this happens when we get a DnD move from another
application.

1) Ensure that any DELETE requests from the target are sent to GDK, even if
both the source and the target are in the same process and it
is therefore possible to use a shortcut and call the handler directly
in GTK layer
2) Ensure that target GDK doesn't do anything when GTK asks it to send
a DELETE request, just report back immediately (the code up the stack
does not check for successfullness when request is DELETE, so not giving
it any data is OK).
The source code already synthesizes a DELETE request, so that side is
also taken care of.

We need to know the target atom value to know when we need to
do something with side-effects (since side-effects are expressed via
special target values). Previously, the code side-stepped that by looking
at the data type (which was rather unique for the one side-effect
target that we supported, signalled by the TARGETS target),
but for the DELETE target that seems to be no longer an option, hence the new
field to carry this information past the convert_selection() routine.
This prevents GDK from throwing a warning when trying to convert
a DELETE target, which has no format or data objects set.
The side-effects for the DELETE target happen earlier, in GTK layer.
By the point it gets to change_property(), it's a no-op.

To do that, run the message loop for one second or until the side-effect
of running the selection request handler is achieved (as opposed to
running it until the event is no longer queued).
The disavantage of this method is that if the event handling is
somehow missed (due to a variety of reasons - after all, it's not
a straight path from an event being queued to property_change()
being called), this will loop for one second. Since we do process
events during that time, this will not hang the application, but
might still restrict some of the functionality.
