options: add copy_or_noop, make default

Browse source 
Add a "copy_or_noop" option which copies the text, and if there is no
selected text passes through the key. This allows applications to
implement native text selection but also have cmd+c still function as a
copy key since they can now receive it.

Make this the default on macos. This should have very little impact on
users because when no text is selected, the application can
(potentially) handle the key.

to :kbd:`Ctrl+C`. It will copy only if there is a selection and send an
interrupt otherwise. Similarly, :ac:`copy_and_clear_or_interrupt` will copy
and clear the selection or send an interrupt if there is no selection.
The :ac:`copy_or_noop` action will copy if there is a selection and pass
the key through to the application if there is no selection.
