Paste on "set clipboard" if possible

Ctrl+Shift+v synchronizes the computer clipboard to the Android device
clipboard. This feature had been added to provide a way to copy UTF-8
text from the computer to the device.

To make such a paste more straightforward, if the device runs at least
Android 7, also send a PASTE keycode to paste immediately.

Fixes #786 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/786>

 both directions:
 
  - `Ctrl`+`c` copies the device clipboard to the computer clipboard;
- - `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`v` copies the computer clipboard to the device clipboard;
+ - `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`v` copies the computer clipboard to the device clipboard (and

  - `Ctrl`+`v` _pastes_ the computer clipboard as a sequence of text events (but
