Clones the headers collection and request options to ensure the cloned request is
independent of the original.
The HTTP method enum is immutable and can be safely
shared.

    ```php
    public function __clone()
    {
        // Clone headers collection
        $this->headers = clone $this->headers;
        // Clone request options if present (contains only primitives)
        if ($this->options !== null) {
            $this->options = clone $this->options;
        }
        // Note: $method is an immutable enum and can be safely shared
    }
    ```
