Clipboard: Switch C-y and C-Y

Browse Source 
First, this behavior now matches that of dmenu. People switching over
from dmenu might be used to this.

I would argue, though, that it is more comfortable in general anyway:

The "primary" selection is often easier to access, you can just select
some text and be done with it, no need to reach for C-c (or even C-S-c
in terminals). Some programs like XTerm can't even put text into the
"clipboard" selection without special configuration. It thus makes sense
to make this selection available with a hotkey that's easier to reach (I
find C-y to be much more comfortable than C-Y). Only in rare
circumstances do I need to access the "clipboard" selection.

In practice, this change is *probably* not a (very) breaking change for
users, because you very often have to select some text first using a
mouse (thus putting it into the "primary" selection) before you can put
it into the "clipboard" selection using something like C-c. This means
that pasting from "primary" almost acts as a "magic" hotkey that does
"the right thing".
