Keypair: implement clone() (solana-labs#26248)

* Keypair: implement clone()

This was not implemented upstream in ed25519-dalek to force everyone to
think twice before creating another copy of a potentially sensitive
private key in memory.

See dalek-cryptography/ed25519-dalek#76

However, there are now 9 instances of
  Keypair::from_bytes(&keypair.to_bytes())
in the solana codebase and it would be preferable to have a function.

In particular since this also comes up when writing programs and can
cause users to either start messing with lifetimes or discover the
from_bytes() workaround themselves.

This patch opts to not implement the Clone trait. This avoids automatic
use in order to preserve some of the original "let developers think
twice about this" intention.

* Use Keypair::clone
