Add a copy output button to serial monitor

If the arduino collects some data that you want to store on your
computer, a rather simple way is to write it to the serial monitor and
copy it to the clipboard. This commit introduces a button that copies
the whole content of the serial monitor to the clipboard to make this
rather simple. It is a new component added to the menu, and does not
change the behaviour of other compontents.
