Samuel Susla 5fa6c5a941 Enable modernize-pass-by-value clang tidy rule
Summary:
changelog: [internal]

You can read more about this rule on https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/modernize-pass-by-value.html

# Isn't it wasteful to copy? Isn't reference more efficient?

This rule of thumb is no longer true since C++11 with move semantics. Let's look at some examples.

# Option one

```
class TextHolder
{
public:
   TextBox(std::string const &text) : text_(text) {}
private:
   std::string text_;
};
```

By using reference here, we prevent the caller from using rvalue to and avoiding copy. Regardless of what the caller passes in, copy always happens.

# Option two

```
class TextHolder
{
public:
   TextBox(std::string const &text) : text_(text) {}
   TextBox(std::string &&text) : text_(std::move(text)) {}
private:
   std::string text_;
};
```
Here, we provide two constructors, one for const reference and one for rvalue reference. This gives the caller option to avoid copy. But now we have two constructors, which is not ideal.

# Option three (what we do in this diff)

```
class TextHolder
{
public:
   TextBox(std::string text) : text_(std::move(text)) {}
private:
   std::string text_;
};
```
Here, the caller has option to avoid copy and we only have single constructor.
