cmd/cloner, cmd/viewer: handle named map/slice types with Clone/View methods

The cloner and viewer code generators didn't handle named types
with basic underlying types (map/slice) that have their own Clone
or View methods. For example, a type like:

    type Map map[string]any
    func (m Map) Clone() Map { ... }
    func (m Map) View() MapView { ... }

When used as a struct field, the cloner would descend into the
underlying map[string]any and fail because it can't clone the any
(interface{}) value type. Similarly, the viewer would try to create
a MapFnOf view and fail.

Fix the cloner to check for a Clone method on the named type
before falling through to the underlying type handling.

Fix the viewer to check for a View method on named map/slice types,
so the type author can provide a purpose-built safe view that
doesn't leak raw any values. Named map/slice types without a View
method fall through to normal handling, which correctly rejects
types like map[string]any as unsupported.
