Summary

Adds a feature policy (aka permission policy) flags for the Clipboard API. The flag names will be ‘clipboard-read’ and ‘clipboard-write’, to be consistent with the Clipboard API permissions, as feature policy is now merged with permissions and renamed to permissions policy.

Motivation

Secure the clipboard from unauthorized or unexpected use by iframes.

Standards & signals

Explainers: N/A, as this is a fairly minor change.
