Part of #23

The Confirmation for Clipboard access shows a question and, for a write, up to three rows of the text being written. It knows nothing of Clipboard types.

What done looks like

A write's Confirmation names each type with its size, e.g. image/png, 1.2 MiB. When text is among them, the text preview is shown as today.
A read's Confirmation names the types requested. Nothing is read before the user answers, so it has no sizes.
A read or write of text alone looks as it does today.
The en-US strings are added in locales/en-US.ftl.
Confirmation.zig unit tests cover a multi-type write and a non-text read.

Image previews are a separate issue.

Done in 04ca104. A write that includes something other than text shows a dimmed row such as image/png (1.0 MiB) · text/plain (5 B) between the question and the text preview. A read shows the types it asks for. Text-only writes and reads, and OSC 52, look as before. Confirmation.namesTypes and formatSize have unit tests. The sway VM test saves the confirmation as kitty-write-asked.png before allowing the write.
