Description:
When mysqluserclone is used to create new users from old ones, both --source and --destination have to be given even if they are identical.

How to repeat:
$ mysqluserclone --source=root:xyzzy@localhost  \
> --destination=root:password@localhost \
> mats@localhost chuck:xyzzy@localhost
# Source on localhost: ... connected.
# Destination on localhost: ... connected.
# Cloning 1 users...
# Cloning mats@localhost to user chuck:xyzzy@localhost 
# ...done.

Suggested fix:
Two alternative solutions:
1. Make --destination optional and default to the connection information
   provided by --source.
2. Introduce a --server option that is equivalent to setting --source and
   --destination to the same value.
