Fix manager_agent handling in Crew.copy() method

This commit addresses issue #2260 by:
1. Adding manager_agent to the exclude list in the Crew.copy() method
2. Implementing proper error handling for manager_agent copying
3. Adding comprehensive tests to verify the fix
4. Enhancing test data for better coverage
5. Improving docstrings for better code documentation
