This makes these tools usable in a pipe.
You can run
```fish
some-long-command | fish_clipboard_copy
```
to copy some command's output to your clipboard, and
```fish
fish_clipboard_paste | some-other-command
```
To feed your clipboard to some command.
Ubuntu's fish package on WSL 1 has xsel as recommended dependency,
even though there is no X server available. This change makes us
use Windows' native clipboard even when xsel is installed.
When pasting a multiline command with indented blocks, extra indentation
from spaces, or tabs, is generally undesirable, because fish already indents
pipes and blocks. Discard the indentation unless the cursor or the pasted
part is inside quotes.
Users who copied fish_clipboard_paste need to update it because
__fish_commandline_is_singlequoted had an API change and was renamed.
This allows for multiple edits to be undone/redone in one go, as if they
were one edit.
Useful when a function is editing the commandline buffer via scripted
changes or via a keybinding so the internal changes to the buffer can be
abstracted away.
(Having extreme difficulty getting pexpect to play nice with the concept
of undo/redo...)
- clip.exe is used to copy to the Windows clipboard
- There's no binary for pasting from the Windows clipboard so
`Get-Clipboard` from powershell is used as a workaround. The
superflous carriage return is stripped from the output.
This reverts commit f620ddf03b.
Setting the paste handler isn't performance-sensitive.
On the other hand setting it this way makes things less transparent,
less flexible (if e.g. a paste handler is installed while the shell is running),
and causes #6286.
Fixes#6286.

If we're at the beginning of the commandline, we trim leading whitespace so we don't trigger histignore.
Since that's the main issue of problems with histignore:
Closes#4327.
This is to make pasting literals easier.
When a user pastes something, we normally take it as-is.
The exception is when a single-quote is open, e.g. the current token
is
foo'bar
When something is pasted here, we escape single-quotes (`'`) and
backslashes (`\\`), so typing a `'` after it will turn it into a
literal token.
Fixes#967.
I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
