Rejoice!

Once https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/443474 has merged succesfully there’ll be a public API again that allows applications to extend the list of supported clipboard formats with Windows and mac/iOS specific converter implementations.

Feedback very much welcome.

We’re working on a replacement for that as well [2], addressing some of the deficiencies of it Qt Graphical Effects, but if you were happy with things in Qt 5, then the types in Qt5Compat as they are are perfectly fine to use.
