Detailed Description
Based on the software pattern 'command', this interface allows execution of action objects.
The action may return true or false to indicate if it was accepted (true) or rejected (false).
Copy versus clone semantics
- Copy is used to copy a whole tree of actions,
- storing common information in web of internal::DataSource's. The internal::DataSource 'web' will be copied such that an entirely new action tree references the new DataSources.
- When clone is used, the Datasources remain
- in place, and only the action is cloned, thus, the original and the clone point to the same DataSource. The deletion of DataSources must thus be managed with smart pointers. A clone is thus used for within the existing internal::DataSource web.

When copying an Orocos program, we want identical internal::DataSource's to be mapped to identical DataSources, in order for the program to work correctly.
This is different from the clone function, where we simply want a new Action that can replace the old one directly.
This function takes a map that maps the old internal::DataSource's onto their new replacements. This way, it is possible to check before cloning a internal::DataSource, whether it has already been copied, and if so, reuse the existing copy.
To keep old source working, the standard implementation of this function simply calls the clone function. If your ActionInterface uses a internal::DataSource, it is important that you reimplement this function correctly though.

Inspect if this action was executed and valid.
This method may not be called before execute(). The default implementation returns always true, i.e. after execute(), it was executed. Override this method if it has more complex state semantics.
