Add %ConstructClone or Copy method in Dynamic Object and arrays

Currently we don't have option to clone the JSON object or array. Whenever I set the JSON object to another variable and execute the %Remove() or %Pop() method to in any of the object it impacts other(s) due to in memory same object reference.

Add %ConstructClone() method would be useful.

    There is no explicit clone method but the deep cloning can be effectively achieved by:

    NS>set json1 = {"foo":1}
    NS>set json2 = {}.%FromJSON(json1.%ToJSON())
    NS>zwrite
    json1=<OBJECT REFERENCE>[9@%Library.DynamicObject]
    json2=<OBJECT REFERENCE>[64@%Library.DynamicObject]
