Remove xsel/clipboard functionality

Description

I know, -n disables the clipboard functionality.

I'd say that having this feature at all - and for those that don't add -n - will cause unexpected behavior. That along with the why section below makes that i'm requesting to remove this feature entirely.

Why

Don't touch the clipboard unless explicitly invoked by keys that should have clipboard interaction. Like CTRL+C/X/V, etc. Being friendly with this feature will give the added side effect that the next paste someone does is whatever the serve command added. In my opinion this is a pattern that should not exist. If a user wants to copy the line, they will do so themselves.

Also, in my case specifically, i'm having my dev data/programs in a headless environment with my IDE using that environment. For that case too, i need no clipboard help.

Alternatives

Nothing from the serve side.

I vote to invert the flag
