Panic when copying on a system not running X

[ellie]

See more details:

https://forum.atuin.sh/t/error-when-copying-to-clipboard-without-x-server/157

Replication steps

• Run on a machine without X (eg, SSH into a server)
• ctrl-y on a history item to yank to clipboard
• observe panic

thread 'main' panicked at atuin/src/command/client/search/interactive.rs:1013:36:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: XcbConnect(DisplayParsingError)
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Expected behaviour

Atuin should do nothing in an environment without a clipboard

Adding support for OSC 52 might be useful for some cases, although it depends on the terminal application (I just learned about this, so…).

Same problem here on a clean Debian 12 installation over SSH... Let me know if you need details.

@ellie
Sent in a tiny change for this. Have a few follow up questions in the PR.

Thanks.
