Add support for PyBox android

Add Android (PyBox) clipboard support to pyperclip

This PR adds native clipboard support for Android devices running the PyBox Python environment.

Changes

• Added init_android_pybox_clipboard() - implements copy and paste using PyBox's ClipboardReceiver broadcast API
• Added PyBox detection in determine_clipboard() - checks for Android platform and com.vytros.pybox in sys.executable

How it works

On Android, standard clipboard mechanisms like xclip, pbcopy, or Windows clipboard APIs are unavailable. PyBox exposes a BroadcastReceiver that handles clipboard get/set operations. pyperclip communicates with it via am broadcast with the required --user 0, stderr=stdout and stdin=DEVNULL flags to bypass Android SELinux restrictions on untrusted app processes.

Testing

• Tested on Android 8.0 to 16 inside PyBox environment
• pyperclip.copy() and pyperclip.paste() both working as expected

Note

The PyBox Project not yet public, but is scheduled to launch within next few months. Since pyperclip is a part of our templates, we require support out of the box.

This implementation has been tested from Android 8.0 to Android 16

Further clarifying on PyBox - It is a python learning and development environment for android which is nearing its release within next few months.
