feat: add native clipboard support for screenshot paste (#67)
## Summary
- Adds Tauri clipboard-manager plugin to read images from native clipboard
- Falls back to native clipboard when WebView clipboard API returns empty (fixes screenshot paste)
- Allows sending messages with just attachments (no text required)
- Logs attached files to output with 📎 emoji

## Test plan
- [ ] Build and run the app natively on Windows
- [ ] Copy a screenshot (Win+Shift+S) and paste in the chat input
- [ ] Verify the screenshot appears as an attachment preview
- [ ] Send the attachment and verify Claude receives the file path
- [ ] Test sending a message with only an attachment (no text)
- [ ] Verify the 📎 log line shows the attached filename

**Note:** Paste will not work in WSLg dev environment due to clipboard isolation - needs native Windows build to test.
