[w3c/clipboard-apis] Support clipboard write() for audio formats (midi, wav) (Issue #218)

Hello! I am a developer of web based audio tools like https://dopeloop.ai/melody-generator and I am working on more tools at the moment for generating samples as well as MIDI.

Something users have asked me for is the ability to copy MIDI data directly from the page so that they can paste into their DAW such as Abelton, Garage Band, etc. At the moment I can't do this because the clipboard API allowed mimetypes don't include MIDI data.

I am currently working on a drum machine and it would likewise be great to let users copy drum loops and individual drum samples (as WAV formatted blobs) into their buffer to paste into their DAWs.

At the moment both of these use cases require a round trip through downloading the data to a local file and then the user must import that file into their DAW or music app. It would be a great usability enhancement to let them copy audio data directly from web apps so they can paste them into their DAWs, just like they can currently do with PNG files.

Thank you for your time!
