Nicholas Nethercote 08683f003c Rename IdxSet::clone_from.
The current situation is something of a mess.

- `IdxSetBuf` derefs to `IdxSet`.
- `IdxSetBuf` implements `Clone`, and therefore has a provided `clone_from`
  method, which does allocation and so is expensive.
- `IdxSet` has a `clone_from` method that is non-allocating and therefore
  cheap, but this method is not from the `Clone` trait.

As a result, if you have an `IdxSetBuf` called `b`, if you call
`b.clone_from(b2)` you'll get the expensive `IdxSetBuf` method, but if you call
`(*b).clone_from(b2)` you'll get the cheap `IdxSetBuf` method.
`liveness_of_locals()` does the former, presumably unintentionally, and
therefore does lots of unnecessary allocations.

Having a `clone_from` method that isn't from the `Clone` trait is a bad idea in
general, so this patch renames it as `overwrite`. This avoids the unnecessary
allocations in `liveness_of_locals()`, speeding up most NLL benchmarks, the
best by 1.5%. It also means that calls of the form `(*b).clone_from(b2)` can be
rewritten as `b.overwrite(b2)`.
