Bone Selection Sets: added copy & paste of individual Selection Sets

The copied Selection Set is stored as JSON document on the clipboard,
like `{"name": "SelectionSet", "bones": ["Bone", "Bone.001"]}`

Using JSON allows the animator to copy/paste selection sets through
text- based communication channels (IRC, email, bug reports, etc.)

When pasting, a new Selection Set is always made, regardless of whether
one with the same name already exists.
