Add alt keybindings for ctrl+ins = Copy and shift+ins = Paste (#2870)

Browse Source 
On non-MacOS desktop environments (Windows, Gnome, KDE, Xfce, VS Code,
...), `ctrl+ins` and `shift+ins` are system-wide alternate keybindings
(except for terminals) for `Copy` and `Paste` respectively. This PR
explicitly defines them as such in Ghostty's default keybindings.

Using `ctrl+ins` as an alt-keybinding for `Copy` allows
static/context-unaware remapping of `Copy` to `cmd+c` for Linux systems
using Mac keyboards via
[keyd](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/137698#issuecomment-2404192700);
with the default `ctrl+shift+c` keybinding for copy this is basically
impossible (because that binding only applies to terminals).
