/**
* Returns new object with values cloned from the original object. Some objects
* (like Sequelize or MongoDB model instances) contain circular references
* and cause TypeError when trying to JSON.stringify() them. They may contain
* custom toJSON() or toObject() method which allows to serialize them safely.
* Object.assign() does not clone these methods, so the purpose of this method
* is to use result of custom toJSON() or toObject() (if accessible)
* for Object.assign(), but only in case of serialization failure.
*
* @param {Object?} obj - Object to clone
* @returns {Object} Cloned object
