This helps to uncover expensive and needless clones in the code base.
For example, I prevented extensive clones in the snapshot path where
(nested) BTreeMap's have been cloned over and over again. Further,
the lint helps devs to much better reason about the ownership of
parameters.
All of these changes have been done manually with the necessary
caution. A few structs that are cheap to clone are now `copy` so that
this lint won't trigger for them.
I didn't enable the lint so far as it is a massive rabbit hole and
needs much more fixes. Nevertheless, it is very useful.

The granularity has significant implications in typical cloud
deployments with network storage. The Linux kernel will sync advisory
locks to network file systems, but these backends may have different
policies and handle locks differently. For example, Netapp speaks a NFS
API but will treat advisory OFD locks for the whole file as mandatory
locks, whereas byte-range locks for the whole file will remain
advisory [0].
As it is a valid use case to prevent multiple CHV instances from
accessing the same disk but disk management software (e.g., Cinder in
OpenStack) should be able to snapshot disks while VMs are running, we
need special control over the lock granularity. Therefore, it is a valid
use case to lock the whole byte range of a disk image without
technically locking the whole file - to get the best of both worlds.
This also brings CHVs behavior in line with QEMU [1].
Whole-file locks remain a valid use case and could be supported later.
This patch only provides the necessary groundwork; making it
configurable is out of scope for now.

This streamlines the Error implementation in the Cloud Hypervisor code
base to match the remaining parts so that everything follows the agreed
conventions. These are leftovers missed in the previous commits.
