add file/image paste to the Claude composer via native clipboard

Flutter's clipboard is text-only and tmux/send-keys carry text only, so
a pasted file or image must reach Claude as an @path reference (per the
T-134 spike). A native clide/clipboard MethodChannel reads the non-text
clipboard: GTK (gtk_clipboard_wait_for_image/uris) on Linux, NSPasteboard
on macOS. The composer overrides PasteTextIntent — Ctrl/Cmd+V resolves a
file path or writes a clipboard image to a cache dir, inserts the @path,
and falls back to plain-text paste otherwise. No new package dependency.

macOS handler is written but unverified on this Linux box — needs a build
on a Mac. Linux path builds and is covered by tests.

input reaches Claude over `pane.write`. Multi-line text is sent as a
bracketed paste so it submits as one message.
- File and image paste in the composer (T-138) — Ctrl/Cmd+V of a copied
file or a clipboard image inserts an `@path` reference (images are
saved to a cache dir first); plain text pastes inline. Backed by a
native `clide/clipboard` channel (GTK + macOS).
