I've rewritten the following data CDS structures to follow the [C++ rule-of-three](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/rule_of_three) to improve their lifecycle handling and fix a memory leak. This is done to prepare for future CDS changes that make more allocations during archive creation.

> Rule of Three: If a class requires a user-defined destructor, a user-defined copy constructor, or a user-defined copy assignment operator, it almost certainly requires all three.

- DumpTimeClassInfo
- DumpTimeClassInfo::DTLoaderConstraint
- DumpTimeClassInfo::DTVerifierConstraint
- DumpTimeLambdaProxyClassInfo

I implemented some of the assignment operators using the [copy-and-swap idiom](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_assignment) to handle `Symbol` refcounting. Thanks to @kimbarrett for the suggestion.
