Using "extname" and other shorthand getters in ".clone()" opts. #122

Would be handy for quickly changing extension in plugins that compile, or in any case where you just need to change the extension:

const html = file.clone({ extname: '.html' });
html.contents = foobar.render(...);

This doesn't belong in the gulp-util repo, as it is related to vinyl; however, I don't think the clone API would be suitable to overload for this feature. If you want to open a different issue on https://github.com/gulpjs/vinyl that suggests a new API, we can discuss there.
