Tick off another two OS X todo items.

I've done the general clipboard revamp, and also, since I added
Ctrl-Shift-{C,V} as a new pair of UI actions for copy and paste, I've
also fulfilled the requirement that there should be some method of
non-menu-based pasting that doesn't depend on a middle mouse button or
an Ins key.

I think the list of OS X missing features is now down to details of
the OS X GTK port _itself_, as opposed to structural issues in the
general code base.

then suddenly that does work. I don't know if this is something I can
fix, though; it might very well be a quirk of the underlying GTK.
I want to arrange *some* way to paste efficiently using my Apple
wireless keyboard and trackpad. The trackpad doesn't provide a middle
button; I can't use the historic Shift-Ins shortcut because the
keyboard has no Ins key; I configure the Command key to be Meta, so
Command-V is off the table too. I can always use the menu, but I'd
prefer there to be _some_ easily reachable mouse or keyboard gesture.
Revamping the clipboard handling in general is going to be needed, as
well. Not everybody will want the current auto-copy-on-select
behaviour inherited from ordinary Unix PuTTY. Should arrange to have a
mode in which you have to take an explicit Copy action, and then
arrange that the Edit menu includes one of those.
The application menu bar is very minimal at the moment. Should include
all the usual stuff from the Ctrl-right-click menu - saved sessions,
mid-session special commands, Duplicate Session, Change Settings,
