fix(profiles): exclude session history, backups, and snapshots from --clone-all (#45246)

Browse Source 
--clone-all copied the source profile's state.db, sessions/, backups/,
state-snapshots/, and checkpoints/ into the new profile. These are
per-profile history: a 49GB copy in practice (15GB snapshots + 11GB
backup archives + 16GB state.db + 6.4GB sessions), and restoring a
copied backup inside the clone would resurrect the SOURCE profile's
state. A clone is a fresh workspace; history stays with the source.

New _CLONE_ALL_HISTORY_EXCLUDE_ROOT set, applied at root level for ANY
source profile (named profiles accumulate the same artifacts), unlike
the default-gated infrastructure excludes. Nested same-name dirs still
copy. Docs and the post-create CLI message updated to match; profile
export / hermes backup remain the full-history paths.
