use rvalue-qual Future::onError(); pass 2
Summary: This is part of "the great r-valuification of folly::Future": * This is something we should do for safety in general. * Several of folly::Future's methods are lvalue-qualified even though they act as though they are rvalue-qualified, that is, they provide a postcondition that says, in effect, callers should act as though the method invalidated its `this` object (regardless of whether that invalidation was actual or logical). * This violates the C++ principle to "Express ideas directly in code" (see Core Guidelines), and generally makes it more confusing for callers as well as hiding the actual semantics from tools (linters, compilers, etc.). * This dichotomy and confusion has manifested itself by some failures around D7840699 since lvalue-qualification hides that operation's move-out semantics - leads to some use of future operations that are really not correct, but are not obviously incorrect. * The goal of rvalueification is to make sure methods that are logically rvalue-qualified are actually rvalue-qualified, which forces callsites to acknowledge that rvalueification, e.g., `std::move(f).onError(...)` instead of `f.onError(...)`. This syntactic change in the callsites forces callers to acknowledge the method's rvalue semantics. Codemod changes: * expr.MMM(...) ==> std::move(expr).MMM(...) // if expr is not already an xvalue * expr->MMM(...) ==> std::move(*expr).MMM(...) Note: operator precedence of that last step is safe - no need to parenthesize `expr`. Reason: `->` binds more tightly than unary `*`.
