The memory selection source was only providing the "text/plain" or the
"text/plain;charset=utf-8" mimetype, but not "STRING" or "UTF8_STRING",
which some X11 clients, like wine, are looking for. This was breaking
pasting from the clipboard in wine applications.
Fix this by adding those targets when they are missing and the selection
source provides the corresponding mimetypes.

Wine destroys its old selection window immediately before creating a new
selection. This would trigger restoring the clipboard, which would
overwrite the new selection with the old one. The selection window
however can also be destroyed as part of the shutdown process of
applications, such as Chromium for example. In those cases we want the
clipboard to be restored after the selection window has been destroyed.
Solve this by not immediately restoring the clipboard but instead using
a timeout which can be canceled by any new selection owner, such as in
the Wine case.

According to the XSetSelectionOwner libX11 documentation:
[...] If the owner window it has specified in the request is later
destroyed, the owner of the selection automatically reverts to None,
but the last-change time is not affected.
This is indeed visible through the selection_timestamp field in
XFixesSelectionNotify events.
Use this to check whether the selection time is recent-ish (thus
likely coming from an explicit XSetSelectionOwner request) and honor
the client intent by setting a "NULL" owner. If the selection time
is too old, it's definitely an indication of the owner client being
closed, the scenario where we do want the clipboard manager to take
over.
This fixes two usecases:
- X11 LibreOffice / WPS clear the selection each time before copying
its own content. Mutter's clipboard manager would see each of those
as a hint to take over, competing with the client over selection
ownership. This would simply no longer happen
- Password managers may want to clear the selection, which would be
frustrated by our clipboard manager.
There's a slight window of opportunity for the heuristics to fail
though, if a X11 client sets the selection and closes within 50ms, we
would miss the clipboard manager taking over.

The X11 selection source was being preserved after unsetting its
ownership. This is no leak as it would be eventually replaced by
another source, or destroyed on finalize. But it's pointless to
keep it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1206
Most visible with xwayland-on-demand, at the time of setting things up
for X11 selections, we don't forward the current state. This makes the
first started X11 app oblivious to eg. the current clipboard.
Syncing selections up at the time of initializing the X11 selection
stuff ensures that doesn't happen.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1186
This shouldn't happen frequently, but is just a sign that the source is
being replaced by something else. Just keep the warning for other possible
error situations.
Also, plug the potential GError leak.

This code takes care of both setting up X11 selection sources whenever
X11 clients claim selection ownership, and claiming selection ownership
on a mutter X11 window whenever other selection sources claim ownership.
