Added an action to save the system clipboard to a Named Clipboard.
Added clipboard filters:
Remove Styles.
Set line endings to Mac, Unix or Windows/DOS.

Other New Action in 3.1
Manipulate Window can now center the window on its current screen.
Pause can now pause for fractional seconds (eg 0.75).
Insert Text can now insert via typing simulated keystrokes.
New Scripting Support in 3.1:
Keyboard Maestro Engine’s do script now supports executing any action based on its XML code.

Changes in 3.1:
The system clipboard is no longer restored after actions that set it (such as Insert Text via Paste or Use Named Clipboard).
