Add yank_to_clipboard commands, bind to <space>y by default

Browse source 
The clipboard special registers are able to retain multiple selections
and also join the value when copying it to the clipboard. So by default
we should yank regularly to the '*' and '+' registers. That will have
the same behavior for the clipboards but will allow pasting multiple
selections if the clipboard doesn't change between yanks.
