Clone the frame window configuration in 'clone-frame'

* doc/emacs/frames.texi (Creating Frames): Mention the cloned
window configuration for clone-frame.

* lisp/frame.el (clone-frame): Change second arg to 'no-windows'
and clone window configuration when it's nil.

* lisp/tab-bar.el (tab-bar-mouse-context-menu)
(tab-bar-detach-tab): Replace "Detach" with "Move" in help/doc strings.
