Reapply support for pasting images on x11 (#32121)
This brings back [linux(x11): Add support for pasting images from
clipboard · Pull Request
#29387](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/29387) while fixing
#30523 (which caused it to be reverted).

Commit message from that PR:

> Closes:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/29177#issuecomment-2823359242
>
> Removes dependency on
[quininer/x11-clipboard](https://github.com/quininer/x11-clipboard) as
it is in [maintenance
mode](https://github.com/quininer/x11-clipboard/issues/19).
>
> X11 clipboard functionality is now built-in to GPUI which was
accomplished by stripping the non-x11-related code/abstractions from
[1Password/arboard](https://github.com/1Password/arboard) and extending
it to support all image formats already supported by GPUI on wayland and
macos.
>
> A benefit of switching over to the `arboard` implementation, is that
we now make an attempt to have an X11 "clipboard manager" (if available
- something the user has to setup themselves) save the contents of
clipboard (if the last copy operation was within Zed) so that the copied
contents can still be pasted once Zed has completely stopped.

Before the fix for reapply, it was iterating through the formats and
requesting conversion to each. Some clipboard providers just respond
with a different format rather than saying the format is unsupported.
The fix is to use this response if it matches a supported format. It
also now typically avoids this iteration by requesting the `TARGETS` and
taking the highest precedence supported target.

Closes #30523

Release Notes:

- Linux (X11): Restored the ability to paste images.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for ways you can contribute to Zed.

Also... we're hiring! Check out our jobs page for open roles.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
