Allow to copy contact's key fingerprint

There is no easy way to save fingerprint of user’s public key (in Electron desktop). I can see it in contact’s ‘Encryption info’, but can’t copy it. AFAIK on Android DC app it’s also not possible.

Usecase: Alice and Bob need to (remotely) ensure Charli uses same email and key with them.

makes sense, i created a PR for iOS at option to copy fingerprints to the clipboard by r10s · Pull Request #2822 · deltachat/deltachat-ios · GitHub , i think, other OS will follow sooner or later once they see this feature proposal.

for android, i would add a “Copy” button as well, for desktop, i would allow selecting the text of alter dialogs in general; this is also useful for error messages and thelike
