Support for copying image with correct targets

[dhanjit]

This are the TARGETS when I do a simple right click -> copy image on firefox. The same goes for chrome.

❯ xclip -selection clipboard -t TARGETS -o
TIMESTAMP
TARGETS
MULTIPLE
SAVE_TARGETS
text/html
text/_moz_htmlinfo
text/_moz_htmlcontext
image/png
image/bmp
image/x-bmp
image/x-MS-bmp
image/x-icon
image/x-ico
image/x-win-bitmap
image/vnd.microsoft.icon
application/ico
image/ico
image/icon
text/ico
image/jpeg
image/tiff

This is what I get with xsel.

~/Pictures
❯ xsel -b < mpv-shot0001.jpg

~/Pictures
❯ xclip -selection clipboard -t TARGETS -o
TIMESTAMP
MULTIPLE
TARGETS
DELETE
INCR
TEXT
UTF8_STRING
STRING

And ofcourse pasting the image is something like hangouts doesn't work.

Sadly, currently xclip also doesn't correctly copy an image from file. Neither does any other such tool. CopyQ (https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ) is a heavy alternative to this but doesn't have a non-daemon mode.

It would be good to have xsel support it, as there are no lightweight alternatives currently. Also xsel is already used by many folk and other applications.

This actually works now. At least on my system running xsel 1.2.0:

`` ~ ❯❯❯ xsel -b < 099.jpg ~ ❯❯❯ xclip -seletion clipboard -t TARGETS -o TIMESTAMP TARGETS MULTIPLE text/html text/_moz_htmlcontext text/_moz_htmlinfo UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING text/plain;charset=utf-8 text/plain text/x-moz-url-priv

And CTRL+v in to various applications seems to work fine.

Scratch that, it only kinda works. If I've previously copied a file from my file browser to the clipboard then sometimes using xsel to put a different file in the clipboard works, but not always.
