Where are these places?  I wasn't aware of this.

Note that rich_location::m_fixit_hints "owns" the fixit_hint instances,
manually deleting them in rich_location's dtor, so simply doing a
shallow copy of it would be wrong.

Also, a rich_location stores other pointers (to range_labels and
diagnostic_path), which are borrowed pointers, where their lifetime is
assumed to outlive any (non-dtor) calls to the rich_location.  So I'm
nervous about code that copies rich_location instances.

I think I'd prefer to forbid copying them; what's the use-case for
copying them?  Am I missing something here?
