[klipper] Workaround race when klipper updates on wayland

David Edmundson requested to merge work/klipper_race_prevent into master

We have a situation where some clients drop their old offer before creating a new one. This means klipper tries to fill in the empty clipboard at the same time the client posts its new real contents.

This adds in a flag (via a hidden mimetype) that klipper is trying to replace a null clipboard. If this flag is set and our clipboard is not null because the client has updated it in the meantime we ignore the klipper update.

It's a workaround, rather than an ideal fix at a data level, but it solves the problem in the interim.
