full Wayland support (including clipboard support)

Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it's great to see

What will be the day to day difference? Will you still have to use shift insert to paste?

Vim hasn't been able to copy to the clipboard since I switched to Wayland. Now it can and hopefully will do so in general as I have unnamedplus enabled, making the system clipboard the default one.

The "+/"* buffers, I assume.
