[Bug 23235] allow triggering copy action from certain event handlers

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23235

--- Comment #5 from James M. Greene <james.m.greene@gmail.com> ---
I'm absolutely ecstatic over this one. Now, of course, I must wait for the
various browser vendors to start updating/adding their clipboard APIs. :)

Also, just so I'm clear: this bug originally started by discussing using
`document.execCommand` to execute copy/cut but the spec update would suggest
(to me) that developers would be able to dispatch a
"beforecopy"/"copy"/"beforecut"/"cut" event using the normal event dispatching
mechanisms (i.e. `EventTarget#dispatchEvent`).  Is that accurate?  I do
actually prefer that style over the sometimes sketchy `execCommand` API.
