x11: Handle selection windows being destroyed before new selection

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.
