[pdm-devel] [PATCH proxmox-api-types] generator: Remove needless borrows

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

NAK:

So this changes

    let url = "some &str";
    self.0.get(&url);

into

    let url = "some &str";
    self.0.get(url);

I mentioned an alternative off-list which is a simpler change to the
generator which we can do once edition 2024 lands (which will hit stable
tomorrow...), that is, unconditionally change the use of `url` to `&url`
and turn the `format!` calls into borrows by prepending `&`. In the new
edition, the temporary will be kept alive, which is IMO a very awkward
and unexpected thing to do, but apparently I'm wrong in that way of
thinking 😄

Iow. we'd change:

    let url = format!("some url{query}");
    self.0.get(&url);

and

    let url = "some &str";
    self.0.get(&url);

into

    let url = &format!("some url{query}");
    self.0.get(url);

and

    let url = "some &str";
    self.0.get(url);

(Note how the `.get(url)` is the same in both cases.)

This way we don't need to keep track of whether the url is owned, and
the generator is already quite messy to look at, so I'd prefer that over
this patch.
