This patch adds a wrapper class called
Cloneable, which can be used to automatically perform polymorphic copying. This should greatly reduce the need for error-prone user defined copy constructors and assignment operators.As a demonstration/first step, this patch also uses Cloneable to simplify the pattern nodes described in
ast/rust-pattern.h.
