[Python-Dev] Argument Clinic: Bug? self converters are not preserved when cloning functions

Hi,

I'm working on converting Objects/bytearray.c and Objects/bytes.c.

For bytes, the strip methods need a "self converter" so that they get
a PyBytesObject* instead of PyObject*. However, having set this in
bytes.strip and "cloning" that clinic definition for bytes.lstrip and
bytes.rstrip, it appears that the self converter wasn't set on lstrip
and rstrip. Removing the cloning and copying the argument definitions
resolved the issue.

Is this a bug?
