feat: add copy to clipboard functionality for code blocks (#934)

## 🚀 Feature: Copy to Clipboard for Code Blocks ### What's Changed - Added a copy button to all code blocks that allows users to easily copy code snippets - Implemented visual feedback showing a checkmark when code is successfully copied - Copy button automatically reverts back after 2 seconds ### Technical Details - Uses `navigator.clipboard.writeText()` for modern clipboard API - Positioned copy button in the top-right corner alongside language label - Maintains existing code highlighting functionality ### UI/UX Improvements - Clean, minimal copy button design that doesn't interfere with code readability - Clear visual feedback with copy and check icon transition - Consistent styling with existing theme system ### Video https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8f388217-da8a-422e-9087-42cce8df68ad --------- Co-authored-by: Will Chen <willchen90@gmail.com>
