#217 Make it easier to press Windows+u using great TWAPI

Would not be hard to do and would be useful. However introducing a special character for this would potentially break compatibility with both VBA's SendKeys (which send_keys is meant to emulate) as well as existing twapi uses of send_keys.

So reluctant to add.

#224 Error writing RTF to clipboard

You need to now call clipboard_format_uses_global_heap passing it the format before the first call to read/write_clipboard. The reason for the change is at noted at https://github.com/apnadkarni/twapi/issues/16.

In TWAPI 5.1.0 running with Tcl 9.0.2 on Windows 11, writing RTF to the clipboard generates the following error:

Unsupported format 49311.

The following script demonstrates the error:

package require twapi

set RTF {
{\rtf1\ansi
{\fonttbl
{\f0 Segoe UI;}
}
{\colortbl
\red0\green0\blue0;
\red255\green255\blue255;
}
\ql\f0\fs20 \cf0\cb1\chcbpat1 Hello, World!}
}

::twapi::open_clipboard
::twapi::empty_clipboard
set format [::twapi::register_clipboard_format "Rich Text Format"]
::twapi::write_clipboard $format $RTF
::twapi::close_clipboard

Version 5.0.2 and 4.7.2 work as expected.
