can clone a scene (bevyengine#5855)

# Objective

- Easier to work with model assets
- Models are often one mesh, many textures. This can be hard to use in Bevy as it's not possible to clone the scene to have one scene for each material. It's still possible to instantiate the texture-less scene, then modify the texture material once spawned but that means happening during play and is quite more painful

## Solution

- Expose the code to clone a scene. This code already existed but was only possible to use to spawn the scene
