REQUEST: clone a linode

[applelight]

Would need a Linode cli command to help cloning a complete server. It's currently possible to do it from the web interface, and we should be able to do the same from cli.

ex:
$linode clone <source_linode> <destination_linode> <linode_datacenter> <linode_plan>

Regards.
