fix: clipboard image paste on WSL2, Wayland, and VSCode terminal

The original implementation only supported xclip (X11), which silently
fails on WSL2 (can't access Windows clipboard for images), Wayland
desktops (xclip is X11-only), and VSCode terminal on WSL2.

Clipboard backend changes (hermes_cli/clipboard.py):
- WSL2: detect via /proc/version, use powershell.exe with .NET
  System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard to extract images as base64 PNG
- Wayland: use wl-paste with MIME type detection, auto-convert BMP
  to PNG for WSLg environments (via Pillow or ImageMagick)
- Dispatch order: WSL → Wayland → X11 (xclip), with fallthrough
- New has_clipboard_image() for lightweight clipboard checks
- Cache WSL detection result per-process

CLI changes (cli.py):
- /paste command: explicit clipboard image check for terminals where
  BracketedPaste doesn't fire (image-only clipboard in VSCode/WinTerm)
- Ctrl+V keybinding: fallback for Linux terminals where Ctrl+V sends
  raw byte instead of triggering bracketed paste

Tests: 80 tests (up from 37) covering WSL, Wayland, X11 dispatch,
BMP conversion, has_clipboard_image, and /paste command.
