Not all of these strictly need to be bumped to 0.2.0; many could go
to 0.1.1 instead.  But since everything at the tor-rtcompat and
higher layers has had breaking API changes, it seems not so useful
to distinguish.  (It seems unlikely that anybody at this stage is
depending on e.g. tor-protover but not arti-client.)

This lint is IMO inherently ill-conceived.

I have looked for the reasons why this might be thought to be a good
idea and there were basically two (and they are sort of contradictory):

I. "Calling ‘.clone()` on an Rc, Arc, or Weak can obscure the fact
    that only the pointer is being cloned, not the underlying data."

This is the wording from
  https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/v0.0.212/#clone_on_ref_ptr

It is a bit terse; we are left to infer why it is a bad idea to
obscure this fact.  It seems to me that if it is bad to obscure some
fact, that must be because the fact is a hazard.  But why would it be
a hazard to not copy the underlying data ?

In other languages, faliing to copy the underlying data is a serious
correctness hazard.  There is a whose class of bugs where things were
not copied, and then mutated and/or reused in multiple places in ways
that were not what the programmer intended.  In my experience, this is
a very common bug when writing Python and Javascript.  I'm told it's
common in golang too.

But in Rust this bug is much much harder to write.  The data inside an
Arc is immutable.  To have this bug you'd have use interior mutability
- ie mess around with Mutex or RefCell.  That provides a good barrier
to these kind of accidents.

II. "The reason for writing Rc::clone and Arc::clone [is] to make it
     clear that only the pointer is being cloned, as opposed to the
     underlying data. The former is always fast, while the latter can
     be very expensive depending on what is being cloned."

This is the reasoning found here
  https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/2048

This is saying that *not* using Arc::clone is hazardous.
Specifically, that a deep clone is a performance hazard.

But for this argument, the lint is precisely backwards.  It's linting
the "good" case and asking for it to be written in a more explicit
way; while the supposedly bad case can be written conveniently.

Also, many objects (in our codebase, and in all the libraries we use)
that are Clone are in fact simply handles.  They contain Arc(s) (or
similar) and are cheap to clone.  Indeed, that is the usual case.

It does not make sense to distinguish in the syntax we use to clone
such a handle, whether the handle is a transparent Arc, or an opaque
struct containing one or more other handles.

Forcing Arc::clone to be written as such makes for code churn when a
type is changed from Arc&lt;Something&gt; to Something: Clone, or vice
versa.
