Provides method for determining at run time if a class is "cloneable".
__Usage__
This gets used like `type_traits` functions (e.g., `is_copy_constructible`,
`is_same`, etc.) To determine if a class is cloneable simply invoke:
@code
bool value = drake::is_cloneable<Foo>::value;
@endcode
If `Foo` is cloneable, it will evaluate to true. It can also be used in
compile-time tests (e.g., SFINAE and `static_assert`s):
@code
static_assert(is_cloneable<Foo>::value, "This method requires its classes to "
"be cloneable.");
@endcode
__Definition of "cloneability"__
To be cloneable, the class `Foo` must have a _public_ method of the form:
@code
unique_ptr<Foo> Foo::Clone() const;
@endcode
Note that "friend" access for the %is_cloneable-using class is not sufficient.
The `Foo::Clone()` method must actually be public.
<!-- Developer note: if you change or extend the definition of an acceptable
clone method here, be sure to consider whether
copyable_unique_ptr::can_clone() should be changed as well. -->
The pointer contained in the returned `unique_ptr` must point to a
heap-allocated deep copy of the _concrete_ object. This test can confirm the
proper signature, but cannot confirm the heap-allocated deep copy. A Clone()
method that doesn't return such a copy of the _concrete_ object should be
considered a malformed function.
@warning It is important to note, that a `Clone()` method that returns a
`unique_ptr` to a _super_ class is _not_ sufficient to be cloneable. In other
words the presence of:
@code
unique_ptr<Base> Derived::Clone() const;
@endcode
will not make the `Derived` class cloneable.
@tparam T The class to test for cloneability.
