Summary: Do not auto-forward empty clipboard when Plasma on PC
is locking

IMO KDE Connect on Linux should not auto-forward the clearing of the clipboard
to other devices when the clearing was issued because the PC is locking.
Because this clears the content from other devices, which the user might use.
Further, its triggering a (IMO disturbing) hint on Android 12 or newer. The
hint is triggered by the system in all cases where an app changes the content
in the clipboard. This hint is IMO disturbing in this case as it is not
triggered by an user action but through an automatic process and because it
does not inform the user about something relevant (other than that my PC has
locked automatically after inactivity).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a recent Android phone (12 or up) with a recent PC running Plasma in
mostly default configuration
2. Enable auto-sharing clipboard from PC to phone
3. (For visualization purposes) keep the phone unlocked
4. Lock the PC (can be triggered automatically or manually)
5. Look on the phone
OBSERVED RESULT
The Android phone does notify the user about new clipboard content with a badge
on the bottom of the screen. However, it is missing any content, most probably
because the Plasma lockscreen cleared the clipboard (to avoid leaking its
content to non-authorized users) and that clearing was forwarded to Android via
KDE Connect.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Android phone showing nothing aka. the phone should keep its clipboard
content
