This PR adds PyBackedStr::clone_ref and PyBackedBytes::clone_ref. This essentially does a reference-counted clone by delegating to Py::clone_ref (except if the bytes are in Rust storage).

This may also help with the closed #5462 in cases where the Python token is available (cc @bschoenmaeckers).

This is a clean alternative. Thanks!
