Summary

Lisp portion of standard selection support

Commentary

Based partially on earlier release by Lucid.

The functionality here is divided in two parts:
- Low-level: gui-backend-get-selection, gui-backend-set-selection,
  gui-backend-selection-owner-p, gui-backend-selection-exists-p are
  the backend-dependent functions meant to access various kinds of
  selections (CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, SECONDARY).
- Higher-level: gui-select-text and gui-selection-value go together to
  access the general notion of "GUI selection" for interoperation with other
  applications.  This can use either the clipboard or the primary selection,
  or both or none according to select-enable-clipboard/primary.  These are
  the default values of interprogram-cut/paste-function.
  Additionally, there's gui-get-primary-selection which is used to get the
  PRIMARY selection, specifically for mouse-yank-primary.
