Add a pass-by-copy parameter passing convention

This is intended to solve the problem of how to pass arguments to
constructor functions -- you want to move in rvalues, but not have to
explicitly copy stuff that is not an rvalue. The by-copy passing
convention will ensure the callee gets its own copy of the value. For
rvalues, it'll just pass off the value. For lvalues, it'll make a
copy.
