fix(web): fix issue when clipboard monitoring treats clipboard update from server as the local update (#857)

When the server sends the clipboard update, we write it to our
clipboard. But this new clipboard data was then processed as a new one,
so we sent it back to the server. This commit fixes this behavior by
tracking the data that we received from the server.
