This patch introduces support for `clipboard` context from 
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/specification#Types_Capabilities).
 This feature is very useful when you want to copy all nested values from a 
structure or a container instead of a summary (e.g. `size = 3` for vector). I 
added new short mode for description generation to reduce output verbosity, 
which is particularly useful for primitive types.
