jochen bac52a9762 clipmenu: the clipboard manager as a module, claiming node-clipboard and serving history and copy (hq ADR 0208)
Replaces the AUR greenclip (declared absent) with the official clipmenu, started
once from the session's xinitrc slot, its menu the launcher's dmenu command bound
as an i3 drop-in, its history in the runtime directory. Go tools read and change
clipmenu's own store under its lock.
