Fix a bug in the opt-in-copy work: it was failing to liberate the regions bound in the impl before searching for Copy implements for all fields, leading to problems in the "copyability check". Basically the copyability check would wind up looking for an impl of for<'tcx> Foo<&'tcx T>. The impl that exists however is impl<T> Copy for Foo<T> and the current rules do not consider that a match (something I would like to revise in a later PR).
