I made changes so that either a load/store pair or a call to memcpy is emitted
in the copy/move special functions to copy fields that are not non-trivial.

I added enum NonTrivialCopyKind and function isNonTrivialToCopy to QualType and
removed FieldKind from CGNonTrivialStruct.cpp. Since there are special
functions other than copy constructor/assignment operator, should the enum's
name be NonTrivialStructKind or something instead of NonTrivialCopyKind?
