[support] make title not editable

[Todd Bloom]

I'm not familiar with the node clone module, honestly, but would a combination of hook_form_alter (to disable the field) and hook_node_presave (to act as a 'catch-all' to either override the title or insert your own custom title) work?

I don't know if node_clone.module injects some way to determine if the new node is a clone or such, unfortunately. 

Regards,
Todd
