The purpose of this patch is to stop the previous implicit copying of
Smob<> data members in derived copy constructors.
To that purpose, Smob<> has received a private copy constructor (which
gcc unfortunately only considers worth a warning rather than an error
when implicitly used in a default copy constructor) and an inline
default constructor.
Several classes contained virtual copy constructors without being
actually copyable have had their copy constructor removed.
Several copy constructors just containing a failing assertion were
instead removed and left (privately) declared but not defined. This
standard C++ practice leads to link time rather than run time errors in
case an instance of such a class is copied.
Other smob-defining base classes (Simple_smob and Smob{1,2,3}) do not
actually have non-static data members that could be initialized.
Prohibiting the copying of Simple_smob as a base class seems rather
pointless as all of the data members of a derived class are under the
control of the derived class. However, Smob{1,2,3} "misuse" the this
pointer to contain an SCM value. Creating a copy would change the
associated address, a very undesirable operation. So Smob{1,2,3} have
its constructors private and/or disabled.
