Aider v0.68.0: copy-paste mode for LLM web chat UIs, provider keys in config

New --copy-paste mode and /copy-context command let you drive aider against a browser chat UI instead of an API. API keys and arbitrary environment variables for any provider can now be set from the command line or the YAML config file.
