wl-clipboard: Wayland clipboard utilities

Describe the package

I'd like to request the package wl-clipboard, which offers essential command-line tools for clipboard management in Wayland.

Since Fedora lacks a built-in command-line clipboard manager, this software would improve productivity and user experience by allowing data to be copied and pasted directly from the terminal to other applications or vice versa.

Including this package in the base image seems like a perfect addition. Its inclusion also aligns particularly well with the Bluefin-cli experience prototype.^1

For reference, from the project's README:^2

This project implements two command-line Wayland clipboard utilities, wl-copy and wl-paste, that let you easily copy data between the clipboard and Unix pipes, sockets, files and so on.

An example of copying data to the Wayland clipboard with wl-copy:

command 2>&1 | wl-copy
