sideband builds, but pyobjus (darwin dependency) doesn't.

Thank you for packaging sideband! A mini initial review:

1. sideband -d works on NixOS as is!
2. Running sideband with the UI enabled however currently fails. This is because .kv files that are needed for the app to work aren't included in the build. I'm not sure if this is because of some Nix sandboxing, but I've opened Fix kivy path in setup.py markqvist/Sideband#72 upstream to look further into it. Applying this patch via a patches fixes this and sideband with the UI loads fine.
3. Kivy tries to find xclip or xsel, if you don't have any of these installed some errors get printed on the logs. Setting xclip/xsel as a dependency with this patch fixes this, but I'm not sure if this should be done on Sideband or on the Kivy package instead.
