patch 9.1.0852: No warning when X11 registers are not available

Browse Source 
Problem:  No warning when X11 registers are not available
          (delvh)
Solution: Output W23 once when connection to X11 clipboard/selection
          is not possible, mention in the documentation, that register 0
          will be used instead

Vim silently uses the 0 register, when clipboard or selection register * or +
are not available. This might be a bit unexpected for the user.

So let's just warn once when this happens.

fixes: #14768
closes: #16013

Note that the text in the "+ register remains available when making a Visual
selection, which makes other text available in the "* register. That allows
overwriting selected text.
*W23*
When you are yanking into the "* or "+ register and Vim cannot establish a
connection to the X11 selection (or clipboard), it will use register 0 and
output a warning:
Warning: Clipboard register not available, using register 0 ~
*x11-cut-buffer*
There are, by default, 8 cut-buffers: CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7. Vim only
uses CUT_BUFFER0, which is the one that xterm uses by default.
