Add a New Copy Button That Works in Modals

This copy button manages a local instance of the Clipboard plugin
specific to it, which means it is created/destroyed on the
creation/destruction of the component. This allows it to work well in
gitlab-ui modals, as the event listeners are bound on creation of the
button.

It also allows for bindings to the `container` option of the Clipboard
plugin, which allows it to work within the focus trap set by bootstrap's
modals.

+
+### `modal_copy_button` vs `clipboard_button`
+
+The `clipboard_button` uses the `copy_to_clipboard.js` behaviour, which is
+initialized on page load, so if there are vue-based clipboard buttons that
+don't exist at page load (such as ones in a `GlModal`), they do not have the
+click handlers associated with the clipboard package.
+
+`modal_copy_button` was added that manages an instance of the
+[`clipboard` plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/clipboard) specific to
+the instance of that component, which means that clipboard events are
+bound on mounting and destroyed when the button is, mitigating the above
+issue. It also has bindings to a particular container or modal ID
+available, to work with the focus trap created by our GlModal.
