kitty_grab no longer works with the newest Kitty

[gregorias]

Since somewhere around Kitty 0.26.3, kitty_grab stopped working, because the API has changed.

For example, _grab_ui.py depends on kitty.fast_data_types.set_clipboard_string, but Kitty moved that function away from fast_data_types in https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/commit/7e1380cc0dfbef2e7f5ce8988e4aef206a193335.

Oh nice :frowning: Breaking API changes, just what we need at this particular time.

Can you test with this patch, are there other breakages?

Kitty Grab with the patch works on Kitty 0.26.3.
