Add note about key prop being excluded by cloneWithProps

Whilst this is intentional behaviour (see #1274), it is not documented anywhere, so it is worth mentioning.

It would also be nice if React issued a warning to console if a cloned component loses its key (as this will silently break reconciliation?)

#### `ReactComponent React.addons.cloneWithProps(ReactComponent component, object? extraProps)`
Do a shallow copy of `component` and merge any props provided by `extraProps`. Props are merged in the same manner as [`transferPropsTo()`](/react/docs/component-api.html#transferpropsto), so props like `className` will be merged intelligently.
**NOTE:** `cloneWithProps` does not transfer the `key` prop to the cloned component. If you wish to preserve the key, add it to the `extraProps` object:
```js
var clonedComponent = cloneWithProps(originalComponent, { key : originalComponent.props.key });
```
