One of the uses of the IsValid flag is to support default constructing
a ErrorOr that is not a Error or a Value. There is not much value in
doing that IMHO. If ErrorOr was to have a default constructor, it
should be implemented by default constructing the value, but even that
looks unnecessary.
The other use is to avoid calling destructors on moved objects. This
looks wrong. If the data being moved has non trivial treatment of
moves (an std::vector for example), it is its destructor that should
handle it, not ~ErrorOr.
With this change ErrorOr becomes a fairly simple wrapper and should
always be better than using an error_code + value in an API.

ErrorOr had quiet a bit of complexity and indirection to be able to hold a user
type with the error.
That feature is not used anymore. This patch removes it, it will live in svn
history if we ever need it again.
If we do need it again, IMHO there is one thing that should be done
differently: Holding extra info in the error is not a property a function also
returning a value or not. The ability to hold extra info should be in the error
type and ErrorOr templated over it so that we don't need the funny looking
ErrorOr<void>.

This reverts commit a33e1fafac7fedb1b080ef07ddf9ad6ddff3a830.
This unit test crashes on Darwon. It needs to be temporarily reverted
to unblock the test infrastructure.

Some paths through the copy constructors for 'ErrorOr' were calling
'get' when 'HasError' and 'IsValid' were not properly initialized.
Depending on what happened to be in memory for those member variables
the asserts in 'get' might incorrectly fire. Fixed by ensuring that
the member variables in question are always initialized before calling
'get'.

ErrorOr<void> represents an operation that returns nothing, but can still fail.
It should be used in cases where you need the aditional user data that ErrorOr
provides over error_code.
