Mime type support

[wiiznokes]

Currently, a clipboard value can be copied differently based on his mime type. So we can't just expose all mimetype that was used by source applications. We need to support the most commun one.

• text
• image
• links
• ... ?

And see how this could be done.

For image, we need to check if the db is appropriate

plan:

• watch all mime type
• config with prefered image format
• when an entry is detected, retreive an image in the prefered format if avaiable, if not, prefers common format implemented by the image crate, if not, just pick one and don't display it
• if uri-list: do not copy data in the db. Just use the uri on the fs, with an image::Handle::from_path

we can also request text/html in case of image to get alt info
