Add test exposing shallow Clone() race condition in GarnetObjects

Demonstrates that Clone() shares mutable collections by reference,
causing InvalidOperationException when one thread serializes (iterates
sortedSetDict in DoSerialize) while another mutates the shared dict
(via Add on the clone).

This is a pre-existing issue affecting all GarnetObject types, not
introduced by the IndexedPriorityQueue change.

Three tests:
- Race condition: concurrent serialize + mutate throws InvalidOperationException
- Deterministic: clone's Add is visible through original's Dictionary
- HashObject: Clone also shares mutable state
