Add System Info to clipboard for easy referencing

in General

Here is a proposal of a little button in the bottom right corner of the blender window to copy system info to the clipboard so it is easy to report in issues/bugs/etc.

Currently it reports:
os version, blender version, Bonsai version and active addons.
Please take a look and let me know if this is something useful and if som other info should be added.
"
Thanks!

    The feature is there to get this info already. Is there a particular reason to have it always visible?

    i like it.
    To make it less conspicuous, could you have the Bonsai vo.8.3 -alpha250421-3311b70 be clickable, to provide this info? That way, you don't have to say 'System Info'.
    Maybe have the button be emboss=False to make it even more inconspicuous.

    You guys are right! I saw the issue some hours ago and I thought it was a very good idea. I did not see the answer that it is already available in the "copy debug information".
    I have modified the code as @theoryshaw has said but calling the info that @sjb007 has pointed out (to call the bpy.ops.bim.copy_debug_information() operator and then just print the clipboard to a popup).
    See it here working

    Thanks!

    i like it.

    one more suggestion, how about just automatically saving it to the clipboard. That is, don't even click 'ok'.

    What about adding a button "Open Bug Report" which could point to a pre-filled bug report like the vanilla Blender one under Help > Report a bug does ? I feel like for newcomers looking into the lower right of the interface is not a given whereas the bright red message is enough in your face.
