Description Beat Schwarzentrub

Build Identifier: 

There has to be a possibility to disable the behaviour of Ctrl+C on tables. A use case for this would be an application with sensitive information (e.g. address data) that should not be allowed to be exported, only to be displayed to the user.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
- Add a method "String execCopyToClipboard()" (or something similar) to AbstractTable.
- The default implementation calls an utility function that implements the current copy behaviour.
- "return null" does nothing. This can be used to disable the Ctrl+C behaviour only for certain tables.
- The call of "execCopyToClipboard()" is protected by a new Permission. You can then revoke this permission to disable the use of Ctrl+C globally for alle tables.

Reproducible: Always

Problem:
There has to be a possibility to disable the behaviour of Ctrl+C on tables. A use case for this would be an application
with sensitive information (e.g. address data) that should not be allowed to be exported, only to be displayed to the user.
Solution:
> Added the method 'AbstractTable#execCopy(ITableRow[])' to return a transfer object to be put into the clipboard
> By default, a TextTransferObject is returned with a text/plain and text/html representation of the selected rows.
  That means that if the target understands HTML, the HTML representation is used over the plain-text representation.
> In SWT, added copy support on tables (not implemented yet)
> Added permission 'CopyToClipboardPermission' to enable / disable the copy functionality
Migration Swing:
> So far, the copy functionality was enabled by default. Because protected by a permission, it is disabled by default as of now.
  To enable the CTRL-C behavior on tables, add the permission 'CopyToClipboardPermission' to the permission-set in AbstractAccessControlService#execLoadPermissions
  or directly grant it to specific user roles in your database script.
Migration SWT:
> None because not supported yet. To enable the copy functionality, see migration notes for Swing.
