Refactor cloning

[swagner]

If a class contains initialization code in the default parameterless constructor, this code usually does not have to be executed when creating a clone. Therefore using the default constructor for creating clones is not a good solution. There should be a specific constructor for this purpose.

Additionally it should also be checked, if every storable class provides a storable constructor.

[abeham]

I tested the trunk (several algorithms on several problems, changing the operator graph, creating an experiment) with the changes from the cloning branch and encountered one more bug:

• I got a "sequence contains no element" exception when creating a new GA / Artificial Ant configuration and running it (running the sample works)

Replying to abeham:

I'm going to fix this asap.
