Adds support for pasting images from the system clipboard via commitContent.

  • When an app supports image input (e.g. messaging apps), the paste toolbar key now sends clipboard images using InputConnectionCompat.commitContent
  • The clipboard suggestion strip shows an image thumbnail when an image is on the clipboard, instead of only handling text
  • Tapping the thumbnail pastes the image; tapping X dismisses it
  • If the target app doesn't support the image MIME type, a toast is shown

Part of #490 (second part will be history)

feat(clipboard): add image pasting

When the user copies an image and presses the
clipboard paste key, commit it to the target app
using Android's commitContent API. Shows a toast
if the editor doesn't support the MIME type.
Text pasting continues to work as before.

@slonka my main issue is lack of time for all the things that should be done, that's why I put "Due to maintainer availability, your PR may take quite some time to be addressed" in the PR template.

I certainly intend to review, and I know that review soon after PR is done is much better than waiting for months first. But each one of PRs, gesture typing project, issues, or discussions / help is enough to completely fill my available time on its own.
Currently I'm mostly focusing on the gesture typing project because it has a deadline (squeezing in small features in between), and the sooner I'm done with passive data gathering the better for eclexic (who is working on the actually relevant stuff).

So sorry, but you will likely need to wait for a few more weeks.
