[RFC v14-rc][PATCH 22/23] c/r: Add CR_COPY() macro (v4)

From: Dan Smith <danms at us.ibm.com>

As suggested by Dave[1], this provides us a way to make the copy-in and
copy-out processes symmetric.  CR_COPY_ARRAY() provides us a way to do
the same thing but for arrays.  It's not critical, but it helps us unify
the checkpoint and restart paths for some things.

Changelog:
    Mar 04:
            . Removed semicolons
            . Added build-time check for __must_be_array in CR_COPY_ARRAY
    Feb 27:
            . Changed CR_COPY() to use assignment, eliminating the need
              for the CR_COPY_BIT() macro
            . Add CR_COPY_ARRAY() macro to help copying register arrays,
              etc
            . Move the macro definitions inside the CR #ifdef
    Feb 25:
            . Changed WARN_ON() to BUILD_BUG_ON()
