Description:
The CLONE INSTANCE SYNTAX requires user@host:port as parameters. MySQL has a default port of 3306 so I would suggest that this last part the port) should be optional and default to 3306.

How to repeat:
See: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/clone-plugin-remote.html

Current syntax is:

CLONE INSTANCE FROM USER@HOST:PORT
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
[DATA DIRECTORY [=] 'clone_dir']
[REQUIRE [NO] SSL];

Suggested fix:
Suggestion is to support the syntax:

CLONE INSTANCE FROM USER@HOST[:PORT]
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
[DATA DIRECTORY [=] 'clone_dir']
[REQUIRE [NO] SSL];

and if not provided use port 3306 (default mysql port) as the default.
