Mitchell Hashimoto 634ef71986 terminal: make clipboard writes protocol neutral
#13182

Replace the OSC 52-specific kind and encoded payload callback with an
atomic clipboard write containing a normalized destination and decoded
MIME representations. This keeps protocol details out of embedders and
lets iTerm2 Copy use the same semantic path.

Represent clears with an empty content list, preserve binary payloads,
and return a generic result for protocols that acknowledge writes. Add
the C ABI descriptors, layout metadata, and effects example so future
multipart protocols can reuse the callback without another API break.

# Example: `ghostty-vt` Terminal Effects
This contains a simple example of how to register and use terminal
effect callbacks (`write_pty`, `bell`, `title_changed`, and
`clipboard_write`) with the
`ghostty-vt` C library.
The clipboard effect receives one atomic write with decoded, binary-safe
MIME representations rather than protocol-specific OSC 52 data.
This uses a `build.zig` and `Zig` to build the C program so that we
can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source
tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any
C tooling.
## Usage
Run the program:
```shell-session
zig build run
```
