This PR adds the other half (host-to-client direction) of clipboard support for the Wayland backend (the client-to-host direction being added in e17aec4). In other words, it allows the gamescope client to paste from the host's clipboard.

The implementation is based on Emersion's blogpost from 2020: "Wayland clipboard and drag & drop" . In the post, Emersion writes (emphasis mine):
I'm not sure how to go about making this change, so I'd appreciate some input here.

Only the clipboard is supported (not the primary selection). Since the client-to-host direction supports the primary selection (c.f. ef1e8db), we should probably add this too.

Only the "text/plain" MIME type is requested. Should we request different MIME types?
