Fix selection copying with mouse outside of window

There was an issue caused by 35efb4619c
which would lead to the current selection not getting copied to the
clipboard if the mouse was released outside of the window.

Instead of aborting any press/release actions when the cursor is not
inside of Alacritty, the handling is now delayed until actual usage.
