COPY_PRIVATE_LINK and COPY_PUBLIC_LINK silently fail on native Wayland sessions #12534

Describe the bug

When right-clicking a synced file in a Wayland-native file manager with a desktop shell integration installed (e.g. Nautilus with owncloud-client-nautilus on GNOME Wayland) and selecting "Copy private link to clipboard", nothing is copied. The action appears to succeed (no error is shown), but the clipboard remains unchanged.

Without a shell integration, this issue seems not relevant — the clipboard write is only triggered via the socket when a file manager extension sends COPY_PRIVATE_LINK or COPY_PUBLIC_LINK.

This affects all shell integrations that trigger these commands over the socket (Nautilus, Nemo, Caja, Dolphin on KDE Wayland) and all Wayland compositors (GNOME, KDE Plasma, Sway, etc.).

Expected behavior

The private link URL is copied to the clipboard.

Detect a native Wayland session via WAYLAND_DISPLAY and delegate the clipboard write to wl-copy(1), which does not require a compositor surface.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Run ownCloud Desktop Client on a native Wayland session (with owncloud-client-nautilus shell integration installed).
2. Open Nautilus and navigate to a synced folder
3. Right-click a synced file → ownCloud submenu → "Copy private link to clipboard"
4. Try to paste — clipboard was not updated
