This primary selection is similar in spirit to the eponimous
in X11, allowing a quick "select text + middle click" shortcut
to copying and pasting.
It's otherwise very similar to its Wayland counterpart, and
explicitly made consistent with it.

+ <description summary="Primary selection protocol">
+ This protocol provides the ability to have a primary selection device to
+ match that of the X server. This primary selection is a shortcut to the
+ common clipboard selection, where text just needs to be selected in order
+ to allow copying it elsewhere. The de facto way to perform this action
+ is the middle mouse button, although it is not limited to this one.
+
+ Clients wishing to honor primary selection should create a primary
+ selection source and set it as the selection through
+ wp_primary_selection_device.set_selection whenever the text selection
+ changes. In order to minimize calls in pointer-driven text selection,
+ it should happen only once after the operation finished. Similarly,
+ a NULL source should be set when text is unselected.
+
+ wp_primary_selection_offer objects are first announced through the
+ wp_primary_selection_device.data_offer event. Immediately after this event,
+ the primary data offer will emit wp_primary_selection_offer.offer events
+ to let know of the mime types being offered.
+
+ When the primary selection changes, the client with the keyboard focus
+ will receive wp_primary_selection_device.selection events. Only the client
+ with the keyboard focus will receive such events with a non-NULL
+ wp_primary_selection_offer. Across keyboard focus changes, previously
+ focused clients will receive wp_primary_selection_device.events with a
+ NULL wp_primary_selection_offer.
+
+ In order to request the primary selection data, the client must pass
+ a recent serial pertaining to the press event that is triggering the
+ operation, if the compositor deems the serial valid and recent, the
+ wp_primary_selection_source.send event will happen in the other end
+ to let the transfer begin. The client owning the primary selection
+ should write the requested data, and close the file descriptor
+ immediately.
+
+ If the primary selection owner client disappeared during the transfer,
+ the client reading the data will receive a
+ wp_primary_selection_device.selection event with a NULL
+ wp_primary_selection_offer, the client should take this as a hint
+ to finish the reads related to the no longer existing offer.
+
+ The primary selection owner should be checking for errors during
+ writes, merely cancelling the ongoing transfer if any happened.
