getCopy() public method

We need to instantiate it with a different from and to state since either one of those states can be the regex states. All other fields need to be copied. Override this method in a subclass to add other fields. By using 'new static' we are already instantiating a possible subclass.

 /**
  * Add a fully configured transition to the machine.
  *
  * It is possible to add transition that have 'regex' states: states that
  * have a name in the format of 'regex:/<regex-here>/' or 'not-regex:/<regex-here>/'. 
  * When adding a transition with a regex state, it will be matched against all currently
  * known states if there is a match. If you just want to use regex transitions, 
  * it might be preferable to store some states via 'addState' first, so the 
  * 
  * Self transitions for regex states are disallowed by default
  * since you would probably only want to do that explicitly. Regex states
  * can be both the 'to' and the 'from' state of a transition.
  *
  * Transitions from a 'final' type of state are not allowed.
  *
  * the order in which transitions are added matters insofar that when a
  * StateMachine::run() is called, the first Transition for the current State
  * will be tried first.
  *
  * Since a transition has complete knowledge about it's states,
  * the addition of a transition will also trigger the adding of the
  * to and from state on this class.
  *
  * this method can also be used to add a Transition directly (instead of via
  * a loader). Make sure that transitions that share a common State use the same
  * instance of that State object and vice versa.
  *
  * @param Transition $transition  
  * @param boolean $allow_self_transition_by_regex optional: to allow regexes to set a self transition.
  * @return int a count of how many transitions were added. In case of a regex transition this might be
  *              multiple and in case a transition already exists it might be 0.
