On a few compilers (clang 11/12 for example [1]), the following does not result in a copy elision, and since `Error`'s copy dtor is elided, results in a compile error:

```
  Expect<Something> foobar() {
    ...
    if (Error E = aCallReturningError())
      return E;
    ...
  }
```

Moving `E` would, conversely, result in the pessimizing-move warning on more recent clangs warning ("moving a local object in a return statement prevents copy elision")

We just need to make the `Expected` ctor taking an `Error` take it as a r-value reference.
