Fix assertion failure in copy_type
PR exp/20630 points out a simple way to cause an assertion failure in copy_type -- but this was found in the wild a few times as well. copy_type only works for objfile-owned types, but there isn't a deep reason for this. This patch fixes the bug by updating copy_type to work for any sort of type. Better would perhaps be to finally implement type GC, but I still haven't attempted this. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20630
