Add an option to copy screenshots to the clipboard without saving them as files

[SergioRibera]

Currently, taking a screenshot in Niri always saves the image as a file, which can lead to unnecessary accumulation of files. This makes it tedious to manually select which screenshots to keep and which to delete.

I propose adding an option in the screenshot UI to copy the image directly to the clipboard without saving it as a file. This would enhance the workflow, especially for users who only need temporary access to screenshots, and reduce the need for manual cleanup.

Expected benefits:

• Minimized file accumulation.
• Improved usability of the screenshot system.
• Faster workflows for tasks that only require temporary image sharing.

Maybe a special bind like Ctrl+C to just copy and not save to disk?

If you don't want to save any screenshots to disk btw you can set screenshot-path null

That bind would be good! Saving to disk by default is nice but sometimes you don't need it

Exactly, the idea is not to remove saving to file, but to have both options, sometimes I just want to copy and other times I want to copy and save
