Copy secret URLs to clipboard button (Bug 1314890)

This patch adds a new button that allows the user to copy
secret URLs to the clipboard without having to manually
select the URL text (a process prone to error). Since
Javascript can't do this directly, it uses the ZeroClipboard
library's Flash based implementation, which adds an invisible
'movie' over the button.

The patch includes error handling, so that if Flash is disabled
or Zeroclipboard is unable to run for some other reason, the
buttons are automatically hidden. Note that if Adobe is set to
ask whether to allow flash to run, the buttons are enabled and
there's no way for us to detect if the user then denies permission.
Since they're explicitly refusing permission and there's nothing
we can do, I'm just documenting the fact here.

Title:
  wishlist: button to reliably copy secret URLs

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Hi Team!
  Another Wishlist item - this time regarding copying secret URL's.
  At the moment we rely on students and staff to accurately select all of the secret URL as seen in attached screenshot.

  This can be a hit and miss affair and leaving off even one character
  results in a broken link.

  My wish is for a "Copy link to clipboard" button - to make the
  select/copy process simple and painless.

  This feature can be seen on any Web2 app where someone has to copy
  embed code (eg. youtube, prezi) and just makes it easy.

  Thanks very much.
  Shane.
