closes #1145 - deprecated current "copy constructor" for all entities and implemented a clone method. The clone copies over all metadata but not annotations and private settings. It sets the guid to 0 so saving the cloned entity creates a new database record. The ownership/access of metadata is set during the save and will be the same as that of the entity.
