bin: Update demo(1) to save to a named file
I realized that the xclip(1) support was really not very handy.
In practice, I often make typing errors and use backspace, arrow keys,
etc. Copying these to the clipboard just results in sharing garbage.
Instead, I need to `cat` the file and copy the scrollback (easy using
tmux(1)).
To make sure it persists even if the terminal fails, demo(1) now saves
to $HOME/demo with a file name based on ARGV!
