feat: make the clipboard work across tmux, ssh and hosts
CI / lint (push) Successful in 31s
CI / eval (push) Successful in 2m1s

tmux copy bindings piped to xclip, which is X11-only and never worked
under Hyprland or over SSH, and set-clipboard was never enabled, so the
vi-mode `y` binding was dead too. Route both through OSC 52 instead.
terminal-features has to name the outer terminal explicitly: tmux skips
OSC 52 silently when the terminfo entry does not claim the capability,
which is the common case for an SSH session on xterm-256color.

Neovim only falls back to OSC 52 when it finds no clipboard tool, but
wl-clipboard is installed on every host, so over SSH it wrote the remote
clipboard. Pin the OSC 52 provider for SSH sessions only.

Moonlight and Sunshine have no clipboard channel in the protocol, so
nothing at the terminal layer can help there. Add kdeconnect on all three
hosts for that, and start its indicator from Hyprland — kdeconnectd is
DBus-activated and nothing else brings it up at login.
