Support duplicate clipboard updates
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Instead of using the contents of the clipboard to determine if the
user has copied any text, use a sequence number that is updated
whenever text is copied.  Consider the following scenario (as
described in mobile-shell#1090):

1. User copies text 'abc' on remote machine via mosh.
2. User copies text 'xyz' on local machine.
3. User copies text 'abc' on remote machine again.

The local clipboard will still has 'xyz' because the most recent copy
text 'abc' matches the last text copied via mosh, so it does not
detect that the user copied new text and does not update the local
clipboard.

This patch updates detection of newly copied text via a sequence
number.  This number is an 8-bit unsigned integer that is updated
every time new text is copied.  This will roll over after 256
clipboard updates, but that is fine as we only care about it being
different than the last value.

Fixes mobile-shell#1090.
Fixes mobile-shell#637.
