Joe Tsai b7695fab0d proto: add Clone function and MergeOptions.Clone method
We resisted adding Clone for a while since:
* It is a function that is perfectly suited for generics.
However, generics probably still won't be available in Go for some time
and it is impractical to block addition of this function when it is very
widely used and will be necessary for the v1 to v2 migration.
* In the past, there was no protoreflect.Message.IsValid, so there was
no proper API to detect invalid top-level messages and return them as such.

Since Clone relies on certain properties about proper round-tripping
of ProtoMessage.ProtoReflect <-> Message.Interface, we add a test
in testing/prototest to check for this.
