[PATCH 0/1] add GPaste support

This is a from-scratch new feature to support clipping with GPaste[1], an clip
manager that works under Wayland like wl-clipboard[2] but does not require
setting focus-new-windows to "smart" in order to capture data[3].

Adding this feature allows users of Gnome under Wayland who prefer that the
focus-new-windows property under org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences be set to
"strict", which prevents arbitrary applications from stealing focus from where
the poor user is typing and redirecting their input into some popop that may
take the input it receives as permission to do something unwanted.

I've reviewed the discussions from the previous submission by Marc-Antoine
Perennou in February, 2015[4] and hope this approach is more acceptable.

Functionality requires that the gpaste-client be installed, the corresponding
daemon be running, and the user opt-in by setting PASSWORD_STORE_USE_GPASTE to a
non-empty value in their environment.
