feat(app): keep the clipboard in step with the device - #61

The automatic direction carries the Mac's copies to the device. The device's copies only come back when asked for, so the connection also reconciles the two sides, keeping whichever is newer rather than letting a pull overwrite a copy the user just made on the Mac.
One connection per open device, kept while the window is up, since the automatic syncing runs on it. The sync is on by default and remembered. Only the Mac to device direction is automatic, so the device's clipboard is fetched when the app stops being frontmost, which is when a copy made inside a device is about to be pasted elsewhere. Get and Send Pasteboard are the manual halves and are greyed while the sync is on, as in Simulator.app.

What: The Mac's clipboard and a booted device's now stay in step. Copies made on the Mac reach the device on their own, a copy made inside a device is on the Mac by the time you switch to another app, and Edit gains Automatically Sync Pasteboard with Get and Send Pasteboard as its manual halves. The sync is on by default and remembered between launches.

SimPasteboardPlus, reached through the mach port the device vends for the service its own listener class names. Only the Mac to device direction is automatic, which is why the device's clipboard is fetched when the app stops being frontmost rather than left to arrive by itself.
