On Ubuntu 23.10 in Wayland session you can't copy text from kate to [far2l](https://github.com/elfmz/far2l) (Far Manager Linux port) GUI (wxWidgets-based) version. The reason is that kate expose text only as`text/plain;charset=utf-8`, but wxWidgets only understand `STRING` and `UTF8_STRING` in some aspects of its clipboard API. Please add support for `UTF8_STRING` format also. 1. Create new file in kate 2. Type any text 3. Copy to clipboard 4. Try to paste to far2l wxWidgets GUI.

We use QClipboard e.g. via QApplication::clipboard()->setText. We will no add extra compat code. If wxWidgets only understands a different type, that should be fixed there.
