Subject: [PATCH] [clipboard] Added "ui.clipboard_file" to add text to the
 system clipboard.

ui.clipboard_file is filename of the clipboard file. This file can be a named pipe.
See contrib/clipboard/clip.sh how to set up copying to clipboard using socat and xclip.
Just run clip.sh (it will be running in a loop) before starting elinks and
set ui.clipboard_file = "~/.elinks/clipboard.fifo".
