clipboard: Select target with different priority

Frediano Ziglio requested to merge fziglio/vd_agent_linux:opensuse into master

Before the target was chosen as the first type from clipboard that satisfy the requested (from client) type. However possibly this was not the best choice. For instance if there were STRING and UTF8_STRING the STRING was chosen potentially having issues with no-ASCII characters. Now while scanning the types in the clipboard pick up the one with a smaller index in atom2agent making atom2agent become a priority list. This way UTF8_STRING is picked up instead.

This fixes GitLab issue #37 where openSUSE Tumbleweed is presenting lot of type for text into clipboard but having text/plain and STRING before UTF8 strings. This causes pastes from guest to client to not pass correctly no-ASCII characters.

Tested with both GTK code and X11 code (--without-gtk) and clipboard text is now working both directions.
