Summary make even const PassRefPtrs give transfer of ownership semantics

Make even const PassRefPtrs give transfer of ownership semantics. This is a somewhat cheesy change. Having to use PassRefPtr_Ref creates ambiguities in assignment and copy construction. And this makes life way easier and removes the need for pass(). It is not really correct, but we pretty much never need a real const PassRefPtr, and this takes care of things for PassRefPtr temporaries.

Comment on attachment 5277 [details] evil hack Looks sane. You should at least add a comment in the header referencing this bug and explaining why you are specifying const on these methods and in the constructor. Also, I think you probably want darin to weigh in on this one.
