Subject: [PATCH] org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift: Accept 0 clones

* lisp/org.el (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift): Allow argument
  specifying number of clones to be 0.

* testing/lisp/test-org.el (test-org/clone-with-time-shift): Add
  tests.

This makes it possible to clone a subtree with a repeating timestamp
so that the repeater is removed from the original subtree and a single
shifted, repeating clone is created.  If the original subtree does not
have a repeating timestamp, no clones will be made.
