[DevTools] Console should contain clipboard as variable

Project Member Reported by allada@chromium.org, Mar 28 2016

Issue description

Allow the console to contain a variable representing data in clipboard as a variable.

Example:

1. Copy text from outside window.
2. Go to Devtools console and have data in clipboard represented as a kind of string (maybe blob?) to allow easy access to what is copied. If "$$$" was the special variable allow things like: "console.log($$$)" and it would print whatever was in the clipboard.

This may not be a good idea for security reasons. If a user was to have a password or something in their clipboard then was hoaxed into opening devtools and pasting some "magical" stuff that they thought would do something, it may be a security issue. I think this needs a bit of discussion before any action should take place on it.
