Specialize array cloning for Copy types
Because after PR 86041, the optimizer no longer load-merges at the LLVM IR level, which might be part of the perf loss. (I'll run perf and see if this makes a difference.)
Also I added a codegen test so this hopefully won't regress in future -- it passes on stable and with my change here, but not on the 2021-11-09 nightly.
Example on current nightly: <https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=release&edition=2021&gist=
1f52d46fb8fc3ca3ac9f097390085ffa>
```rust
type T = u8;
const N: usize = 3;
pub fn demo_clone(x: &[T; N]) -> [T; N] {
x.clone()
}
pub fn demo_copy(x: &[T; N]) -> [T; N] {
*x
}
```
