This reads out the clipboard and writes it to the client on every
change. This is bad for two reasons:
1) It sends a lot of data to the client when it might not be needed
2) It always forces clipboard using apps to serialize any clip board
data it has to text and pass it to windows every time someone copies and
pastes. This is unnecessary in most cases since cut and paste is mostly
intra-application. Additionally it may be costly since if you copy
something more complex like pdf or html extracting the text from it may
not be trivial.
Additionally I think this should be designed with multiple formats in
mind. We want only send the format the two parties agreed upon over the
wire. So we need some negotiation here about which formats are
available in the clipboard and which one should be used.
Beside that I think it isn't a great idea to shuffle the (potentially)
bulky clipboard data over the same channel the agent mouse uses.
