Subject: [PATCH] Added a deepCopy() method in GsonBuilder. This allows a
 web-service to create a pre-configured GsonBuilder and then for each request,
 create a Gson instance by adding type adapters to a copy. In
 TypeAdapter.Factory.create() method, using the term gson to refer to the Gson
 instance instead of a little ambiguous context.
