Summary

Depends on D19165. Ref T13088. Currently, in other applications, we use Zero Width Spaces and Javascript "copy" listeners to prevent line numbers from being copied. This isn't terribly elegant.

Modern browsers support a second approach: using psuedo-elements with content. Try this in Harbormaster since it's conceptually cleaner, at least. One immediate drawback is that Command-F can't find this text either.

Test Plan

In Safari, Chrome and Firefox, highlighted ranges of lines and copy/pasted text. Got just text (no line numbers) in all cases.
