Detect calls to .clone() on T: !Clone types on borrowck errors
When encountering a lifetime error on a type that holds a type that doesn't implement Clone, explore the item's body for potential calls to .clone() that are only cloning the reference &T instead of T because T: !Clone. If we find this, suggest T: Clone.
error[E0502]: cannot borrow `*list` as mutable because it is also borrowed as immutable
--> $DIR/clone-on-ref.rs:7:5

LL | for v in list.iter() {
| ---- immutable borrow occurs here
LL | cloned_items.push(v.clone())
| ------- this call doesn't do anything, the result is still `&T` because `T` doesn't implement `Clone`
LL | }
LL | list.push(T::default());
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ mutable borrow occurs here
LL |
LL | drop(cloned_items);
| ------------ immutable borrow later used here

help: consider further restricting this bound

error[E0505]: cannot move out of `x` because it is borrowed
--> $DIR/clone-on-ref.rs:23:10

LL | fn qux(x: A) {
| - binding `x` declared here
LL | let a = &x;
| -- borrow of `x` occurs here
LL | let b = a.clone();
| ------- this call doesn't do anything, the result is still `&A` because `A` doesn't implement `Clone`
LL | drop(x);
| ^ move out of `x` occurs here
LL |
LL | println!("{b:?}");
| ----- borrow later used here
|
help: consider annotating `A` with `#[derive(Clone)]`
|
LL + #[derive(Clone)]
LL | struct A;
