Feature request: extend minimum 5mb file size limit for stored items in config? #166

I just encountered a problem of not being able to store image files larger than 5mb in cliphist copy buffer.

Why would I need to store more than 5mb?

I usually quickly copy hi-res image files from browser or other image editing software to paste them into different digital content creation tools. Sometimes I make photobash illustrations for commercial purposes and concept art, other times I make textures and grunge-textures for 3d models, sometimes these images are 4096x4096px or 8192x8192px in pixel size, sometimes, when images prepared for real-life printing, the image sizes in raster are even larger than that, naturally, images that are needed for these type of jobs are very often quite heavy and exceed the limitation of 5MB per file.

Request

I really like cliphist, I have written my own interface for it and I love it so far. But it would be great if I could override 5mb limit of file size stored in my cliphist config. As of now, I have to download these images first and then drag and drop them from my file manager, or copy direct file path of that image on my system. Would be great if I could control the file size limit or override it entirely, so that I could actually properly quickly copy and paste larger files.
