[rfc][icedtea-web][policyeditor] Copy Paste refactored to use System Clipboard

[Lukasz Dracz]

Hello,

Okay changed so the dialog to now display "Paste Failed: Could not read policy 
entry for codebase {0} from system clipboard".

Great Suggestion, I'm thinking maybe a Ctrl+Shift+V would copy only the properties.
I will look into this as a future patch.

I have not been able to reproduce this, but that might be because of the latest
pushes. If you still find this issue in the up to date repo, then I will
look into this further.

Thank you,
