Avoid consuming ByteBuffers (#913)

A ByteBuffer is a pointer to a byte[] with a starting position, a current position, and a limit. Any function that reads from its contents updates the current position. Both TracingPropagator and WorkflowUtils copy the entirety of its contents, and in doing so they mutate the current position. WorkflowUtils resets it afterwards but this still isn't thread-safe as another thread may be trying to read it.

By duplicating the ByteBuffer (copying only the metadata, not the actual contents) we avoid modifying it. It doesn't seem likely that there's real impact in either of these cases beyond unit tests, where these ByteBuffers stick around in the workflow history and are repeatedly serialized/deserialized. Modifying them during serialization can create test flakiness as that can trigger exceptions.
