`secretservice`: copy to clipboard not working in Wayland

Wayland's security model is making this harder than it should be. I need to reinvent copying to clipboard for Wayland.

From what I could gather so far, you need a visible and focused window to be able to copy text to the clipboard. Having a visible window is not possible and not how this plugin is supposed to work. It lazy-loads the password on demand from the password manager and then copies the buffer to the primary clipboard.

Albert Launcher itself can copy to the clipboard, since it has a visible and focused window when QClipboard::setText() is invoked, which also transfers the data to the Plasma Klipper history. To workaround this problem, I need to move the copy to clipboard action into the Albert Launcher process instead of creating a subprocess.

[No ETA] Migration Plan for new Plugin Interface

The Albert Launcher Python Extension introduced plenty of breaking changes and improvements since the 0.x plugin API. I yet need to figure out a migration plan to upgrade all my plugins to the new plugin interface, preferably using automation if possible. Since I'm busy with work and real life, there is no ETA when this task will be ever done, as I have no issues with staying on Albert Launcher 0.17.x for now.

Pull Requests welcome :)
