Implement Clone::clone_from for LinkedList

See rust-lang#28481. This represents a substantial speedup when the list sizes are comparable, and shouldn't ever be significantly worse. Technically split_off is doing an unnecessary search, but the code is hopefully cleaner as a result. I'm happy to rework anything that needs to be changed as well!
