Don't log error messages when using the clipboard

wxClipboard::GetData()and wxClipboard::SetData() both log a "wxLogSysError" error-level message (see for example:  https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/v3.1.4/src/msw/clipbrd.cpp#L703 ). This logged message gets displayed as a messagebox to the user.

The logging can be disabled temporarily by creating a wxLogNull object. See https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_log_null.html
