feat(clipboard): add the ability to specify number of attempts in cli…

…pboard directive

Adds a new input to the `cdkCopyToClipboard` directive which allows consumers to set the number of attempts to try and copy their text. We currently have an example of how to implement attempts in the readme, but this feature makes it more convenient so that consumers don't have to do it on a case-by-case basis.
