Timer for cleaning clipboard history #108

Add option to clear clipboard history automatically after specific time period set in extension settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this isn't going to happen. You can already:

Delete non-favorited items on reboot by choosing the "Only save favorites to disk" option.
Delete items after they exceed a count or storage size though the "Max number of items" and "Max clipboard history size" options.

If #40 ends up happening, then perhaps this would make sense, but I currently don't see the value justifying the complexity of keeping track of item copy timestamps.
