Pull Request for Issue # .

Summary of Changes

This intents to be a procedural improvement rather than a fix or a feature.

The Joomla\CMS\Router\Route::_ can get a Joomla\CMS\Uri\Uri parameter, which is later instantiated again as Uri object.
It creates a new object of the same type from the passed one, for no reason. The created object is a clone of the passed.

Testing Instructions

To be able to check the change, you need to debug the code at the point where the change is applied.

Try adding a code like the following in a layout file.

<?php
$uri = Joomla\CMS\Uri\Uri::getInstance('index.php?option=com_content&view=category');
?>
<a href="<?php echo Joomla\CMS\Router\Route::_($uri)?>">A content link</a>

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

Although we pass a Uri object, it creates a new one of the same type from our passed object.
