Add support for clipboardData.setData in iOS Safari. Currently, the setData function exists on the clipboardData object, but does nothing.

Inside my onpaste callback, I tried event.clipboardData.setData("foo"), which threw an exception because I didn't have enough arguments. I also tried event.clipboardData.setData("text", "foo") and event.clipboardData.setData("text/plain", "foo") inside onpaste. Both of those did not change the results of event.clipboardData.getData("text/plain").

I'm implementing a rich text editor, and I'd like to ensure that pasted plain text is styled properly before it is inserted into my document.
