📄 Description

The arbout crate is used to interact with the system clipboard. This
however imposes a dependency on xcb on the crate for Linux/Unix builds.

On a pure Wayland system this is undesirable as interaction with the
system clipboard via xcb in only possible if the user runs a xwayland
server. This cause spotify-cli to require a dependency to a x11 c lib
without providing any functionally to the user.

This change intoduces to new cargo features to spotify-cli: x11 and
wayland.

The x11 feature is the 'old' default feature and will preserve the
current application behavior.

The wayland feature will disable the dependency onto arboard and use
wl-clipboard-rs to interact with the wayland clipboard via the
data_control protocol. This protocol is part of wlroots.
