    Only add the image HTML fragment in alternative clipboard copy mode 5ce9fcf40 merged the default and alternative image copy paths and added the <img src="fileName"/> HTML fragment to every image copy. Office prefers HTML Format over bitmaps and cannot resolve the bare file name, so pasting a capture into Word inserted an empty picture placeholder instead of the image. Restore the previous behavior where only UseAlternativeClipboardCopyImage adds the HTML fragment.

    Write clipboard images with the Win32 API on Windows Avalonia synthesizes CF_DIB, CF_DIBV5 and CF_BITMAP from its own premultiplied, top-down 32 bpp bitmap and ignores the CF_DIB we supply. The resulting CF_BITMAP is solid black, so Windows clipboard history shows a black thumbnail and Office pastes inconsistently. On Windows, place our bottom-up CF_DIB, PNG and HTML Format directly with OpenClipboard/SetClipboardData so Windows synthesizes CF_BITMAP and CF_DIBV5 like System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetImage did.
