[libgpiod][PATCH 2/3] bindings: rust: allow cloning line::Info -> line::OwnedInfo

[Erik Schilling <erik.schilling@linaro.org>]

While one would usually use the ToOwned [1] contract in rust, libgpipd's
API only allows copying that may fail.

Thus, we cannot implement the existing trait and roll our own method. I
went with `try_clone` since that seems to be used in similar cases across
the `std` crate [2].

It also closes the gap of not having any way to clone owned instances.
Though - again - not through the Clone trait which may not fail [3].
