Renamed _STALE_PATCHES -> stale-patches
The odd name was necessary historically to keep the directory
visible at the top of a large list of patches.
This is no longer necessary.

### Description
Store your clipboard history using `clipman` clipboard manager without your KeePassXC passwords leaking into clipman.
Ensure these dependencies are installed (instructions for debian, other distros are left as an exercise...):
apt install clipman libmodern-perl-perl moreutils wl-clipboard
Change your command to launch `dwl` to something like the following:
dwl -s 'pee somebar dwl-getwindowtitle'
Ensure the following command is running in the background of your `dwl` session. Put it whereever your auto-started stuff is.
exec wl-paste -t text --watch dwl-clipman
This solution is based on the following reddit post, modified to support `dwl`. https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/ljl0dh/keeping_secrets_secret_with_keepassxc_clipman_and/
Feel free to use this code however you want, but I can't guarantee it will work for what you are trying to do. Licenced under the same license as `dwl`, "WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND".
