PR #4612 fixes bugs relating to cut/copy/paste from menus.

This is a significant PR in terms of Leo's codebase. Several methods collapsed in complexity. Most importantly, the new LeoGui/LeoQtGui.create_wrapper_for_widget methods put Leo's code on a firmer foundation. Full details in the PR.

I merged the PR without reviews for several reasons:

1. The PR fixes several significant bugs.

2. Leo's existing unit tests can't easily cover the changes, so more real-world testing is required.

3. The changes to Leo's code base are subtle: there is little chance somebody could improve the code merely by reading it.

Summary

Nothing would be gained by delaying the PR. The new code passes all my by-hand tests, and I have been happily eating my own dog food.

Nevertheless, please treat the devel branch as potentially more unstable than usual. Let the testing begin!
