This is a very quick and basic implementation for loading image data from clipboard.

Currently Gradia only sypports opening filepaths (from nautilus) while pasting from clipboard.

This basic implementation adds support for loading real image data as well.
For example you can copy an image in firefox or gimp and paste it directly into gradia.

I wanted to make this implementation as simple and with minimal changes to the main code as possible.
Because of this i only modified a single file with the existing clipboard loading routine.

If there is no filepath uri in the clipboard it will try to load texture data instead. If successful it will store that as temoprary png image. This way i can use the default image loading class at this point.

Closes #282
