    Support XA_STRING in notify request
    
    Some programs can only deal with XA_STRING, and it makes impossible st
    be able of copying to them. This patch makes st answer also to XA_STRING,
    althought it sends utf8 strings. It is not a problem because moderm
    applications must support utf8.
