feat(clipboard): enable OSC 52 clipboard provider by default (#26064)

Use the XTGETTCAP sequence to determine if the host terminal supports
the OSC 52 sequence and, if it does, enable the OSC 52 clipboard
provider by default.

This is only done automatically when all of the following are true:

  1. Nvim is running in the TUI
  2. 'clipboard' is not set to unnamed or unnamedplus
  3. g:clipboard is unset
  4. Nvim is running in an SSH connection ($SSH_TTY is set)
  5. Nvim is not running inside tmux ($TMUX is unset)

+--- This function sends the XTGETTCAP DCS sequence to the host terminal emulator asking the terminal
+--- to send us its terminal capabilities. These are strings that are normally taken from a terminfo
+--- file, however an up to date terminfo database is not always available (particularly on remote
+--- machines), and many terminals continue to misidentify themselves or do not provide their own
+--- terminfo file, making the terminfo database unreliable.
