Environments are heavyweight, and copies are observably different from the
original: they introduce new SAT variables, which degrade performance &
debugging. Copies should only be done deliberately, where justified.

Empirically there are several places in the framework where we perform dubious
copies, sometimes entirely accidentally. (see e.g. D153491 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D153491>). Making these
explicit makes this mistake harder.

This patch forces copies to go through fork(), the copy-constructor is private.
This requires changes to existing callsites: some are correct and call fork(),
some are incorrect and are fixed, others are difficult and I left a FIXME.
