refactor(split): a tile's Ctrl+C copies through the primary pane's copy helpers

TerminalTile carried its own copy of the smart-copy branch (clean the
selection with this session's gutter, copy, clear, toast). PR 1 gave
cleanedTerminalSelection and copyTerminalSelection a `{ terminal, sessionId }`
target for exactly this, and nothing passed it. The tile now calls both with
its own terminal and session, and its copy code is gone.

Two things change for a tile, both to the primary pane's rule: a clipboard
write that fails keeps the selection (nothing was copied, so it stays for a
retry) instead of clearing it, and focus returns to the tile's xterm after
the copy, which matters when the execCommand fallback focused a temporary
textarea. Pinned in terminal-tile-input with the write failing and
succeeding, and the no-selection Ctrl+C / Ctrl+Shift+C split.
