feat(clipboard): add read-only clipboard-check diagnostic script
Lists selection owner/metadata via wl-paste -l to tell Firefox, kitty OSC 52 and wl-copy apart when a copy appears to do nothing. 'clipboard-check.sh test' runs a 20s observation window. Never writes the clipboard or restarts anything. Lives in scripts/ with ~/clipboard-check.sh symlinked in, matching the existing scripts/ convention.
