[PATCH 2/2] Remove xmethod_worker::clone

[Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>]

I think that the clone method of xmethod_worker can be removed.  It is
only used in find_overload_match, to clone an xmethod we want to
keep.  Instead, we can just std::move it out of the vector and into
value_from_xmethod.  value_from_xmethod creates a value that will own
the xmethod_worker from that point.  Other xmethod_workers left in the
vector will get destroyed when the vector gets destroyed, but the chosen
one will keep living inside the value struct.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* extension.h (struct xmethod_worker) <clone>: Remove.
	* python/py-xmethods.c (struct python_xmethod_worker) <clone>:
	Remove.
	(python_xmethod_worker::clone): Remove.
	* valops.c (find_overload_match): Use std::move instead of
	clone.
