Timothy Flynn cf69f52d53 LibIPC+Everywhere: Always pass ownership of transferred data to clients
This has been a longstanding ergonomic issue with our IPC compiler. Non-
trivial types were previously passed by const&. So if we wanted to avoid
expensive copies, we would have to const_cast and move the data.

We now pass ownership of all transferred data to the client subclasses.
This allows us to remove const_cast from these methods, and allows us to
avoid some trivial expensive copies that we didn't bother to const_cast.
