I propose to add clone() functions to (most) public ICU C++ classes that are currently missing them.
This completes the C++ class boilerplate (-> coding guidelines) and helps with operations like 
service registration.

Jitterbugs: 698, 699

For class hierarchies, the clone() function will return a pointer to the base class, which is 
usually only one step removed from UObject. See also
