[12] RFR: 8210142: java.util.Calendar.clone() doesn't respect sharedZone flag

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Naoto,

The spec for clone doesn't say whether the clone should share or not 
share the TimeZone.
Did you consider that if sharedZone was true , *not* to clone the TimeZone?
It would still get cloned when requested from getTimeZone().

This does seem somewhat safer not to change the cloning behavior but I 
don't think the behavior would be observable.

The current code and test is fine, except for reducing the potential for 
sharing the TimeZone.

Thanks, Roger
